How to shoot in studio Double Exposure Portraits


I am trying to shoot indoor double exposure portraits with one image of the subject looking into the camera and a smaller image in the upper corner of the frame looking off into a hard light that is snooted so that it just frames the face. I shoot this against a all black background.

I have tried this with a Cokin P series double exposure filter that covers half the frame yet I cant seem to get the composition right. Are there other types of masks that don't cover the entire half frame? I know this filter works well on outdoor shots yet for what I'm looking for, it doesn't seem to work. Is it the filter or is it me?
Sincerely...Ken

  Ken, I have done very little of this multiple exposure, but when I did, I didn't use a filter. If the background is black, you should only have to adjust your exposure, as not to over expose, then reposition your model and take the second shot.
