What do you call a filming technique of having a smaller screen within the main screen? It's typically used in a news show where the main screen shows the report from the scene and the small one shows the news studio.



Best Answer

The broad term is split screen.

In film and video production, split screen is the visible division of the screen, traditionally in half, but also in several simultaneous images, rupturing the illusion that the screen's frame is a seamless view of reality, similar to that of the human eye. [...]

In television

The split screen has also been used extensively in television programs. Newscasts often show two reporters in a split screen frame.

Note that this is a really broad term.

For instance, in the context of visual effects, split screen is often used to describe a technique that allows an actor to appear twice in the same scene. This is often used to portray twins or doppelgangers in movies which are played by one actor but share some common scenes. Here it is of course required that the split remains invisible to the viewer for the effect to work.
