Working with split screen technique

At first I didn't understand how to use the split screen on Imovie, however when I discovered how to use it, there where complications such as some shots in the film where cut of, so you couldn't see some of the important shot in the film opening. When I started to cut some of the shots to shorten the length  of the film opening. The shots that where cut off by the split screen where discarded and there where no more problem with the split screen. Overall I found working with the split screen technique difficult at first, but after a a while it became easier and more enjoyable.

Editing So Far

Since I am working on my own, i though i would find it very difficult to edit, and I was very apprehensive before starting editing, but I am really enjoying the experience.
this is what I've got so far..

Clips that Inspire my film opening

' Blue Is The Warmest Colour' - Abdellatif Kechiche (2013)

I was inspired by the way the two main characters past each other and incorporated a version of that into my film opening.
