For my installation I am going to project a video of my face onto a painting, so I had to create this footage. I started by filming myself pretending to be in a war zone in a first person mode of address to the camera. I then captured this onto the computer. That was the easy part. I then had to cut out my face from my head, on the footage which I had captured. To do this I had to use a screenshot from the footage, which is shown here.
I had to create a mask for the footage so I blocked out the background in photoshop and made the face transparent footage could be seen underneath. This will allow for the footage to be cut down to the transparent size, using the grey areas as a mask.
