Lens with Rebecca: Research - split personality idea

 I really like this image taken from The Exorcist (1973). I like how it is showing different sides to Regan by overlaying different images of her face in different states - like a split personality. I have done similar work in photoshop (below).

 I really like the idea of overlaying images and the idea of "split personality", especially seeing as I am going to be using sfx make up to disguise my face so it ties in very well with the theme of split personalities.

 The technique of overlaying images in photoshop is very effective and makes the mood of the image very dramatic. Especially if the lighting is dramatic - emphasised shadows, dark background etc.

 The above 3 images are examples of overlaying images I have done in photoshop.

 I also have done some experiments with the camera using slow shutter speeds and the object (model) moving to capture movement and create a double image. This is a characteristic of alot of Anna and Bernhard Blume's work (particularly in the Kitchen Frenzy series).

 My work, experimenting with slow shutter speed and moving object.

Again, slow shutter speed and movement.
