How to double expose images in the dark room


Hiya, this is a bit of a complicated question but I'll fire away anyway....
I'm currently studying photography at college, I'm in my first year and not yet very experienced. For a very big project, I have been asked to think of a "weird" environment which I could document, they have to be shot on black and white film as I will be developing and printing them myself. I have decided to combine the underwater world of marine life with common land animals, such as dogs, cats, cows, etc. I am going to an aquarium tomorrow and my teacher gave me 3200 ISO Ilford film, do you know would I need to use a tripod with this speed of film? Also, I will have to take pictures of the "land" animals on a different film and then when printing them, double expose the two images together, so I'm wondering do you know should I take the pictures of the land animals with a certain colour of background to make the doubling up easier? I would appreciate any advice, as soon as possible as I only have this weekend to do this!! Thanking you in advance! Sonia
