Francis Bacon portraits

Looking through Bacons work I started to take intrest in his self portraits, I looked at how the images were distorted and morpherd giving them a diffrent state of mind making them disturbing showing a diffrent type of emotional state to how they were originally pictured.

"The living quality is what you have to get. In painting a portrait, the problem is to find a technique by which you can give over all the pulsations of a person ... Most people go to the most academic painters when they want to have their portraits made because for some reason they prefer a kind of coloured photograph of themselves instead of having themselves really trapped and caught. The sitter is someone of flesh and blood and what has to be caught is their emanation." - Francis Bacon.

The works of bacon is somthing which I intend to work from for my short film of portraits, I want to combine fear into the portraits so that each of the portraits has an elment of fear in each one of them, I intend to use this to enter ones state of mind and to portray the fear shown through moving images and audio.
