What are some tips and considerations when creating a split screen sequence?

I am thinking of shooting a split screen sequence for my short film despite me having little knowledge on how it works. Any tips and feedback is always appreciated and i'll take it to account. :D
 
remember the audience can only look at one at a time.

if one person is standing still and the other person is moving around then you know where the audience will be directing their attention.

its similar to a regular shot when all the actors look at the person talking - you have to direct the audiences eye where you want it.

storyboard both sequences and decide where you ideally want the audience to look and when
