After thinking about what I thought worked and didn’t work from my previous art work I decided to try and work with layering images to see how this looked before I put it into a video formation. The image I used to create the over lapping was the photograph of me looking at myself with and without my makeup one. I have choice to call this image “self-reflection”.
I think the over lapping of the images worked really well and created a 3d effect which is something I wanted to produce from this work. I also flipped the image so that the top layer is not the same reflection as the bottom images, meaning that my head and face is in a different place and my face is not overlapping with the same image of me with and without my makeup on. This did work well however this may not be what I want to achieve from my videos. Another idea is that I overlap the images so much of my face that it becomes some kind of blur in the videos as if you cannon recognise me. This would symbolise the makeup mask that I apply every day, in which I hide behind.
I think my next task would be to work with a projector and see how the images come out of my face. To have a play around and see what works and what don’t. A video my not work for me from a projector and I may resort to using a TV screen so I need to play with a projector and see if it works for me.
