Split Screen Editing

Split Screen editing was popular in the 60's, and is where a scene with action is split up into various different squares to show on the screen to show the audience various little details or focus on one detail to show the most importance item in frame. This techniques isn't really used today as in it's place we are more likely to use lots of quick fast cuts to show action and details as it flows better the the split screen and isn't as obstructive.

But I think it could be used well to show 2 very similar actions taking place on the screen, making the audience believe the actions are tied but instead can subvert the audience's expectation and really show two different location making the audience believe that the characters on screen were in trouble  subverting their expectation when they aren't.
