Sorry but my French is from schooldays 50+ years ago, so commentary is in English.
Your main problem is using the DJ image as a pattern. Just use it as an image.
The initial steps are
1. Open the 'big' background layer.
2. Image -> Open As layers the DJ layer.
That you can move around. You have the move tool in 'active layer only' mode. Make sure you are on the top layer.
3. Next bit is removing some of the white from the DJ layer. Fuzzy select the white, Add small areas with ctrl-key pressed. Make a better selection by growing 1 pixel and then cut removes. Select none.
Move this around into position.
4. You can Crop the whole image to size or in the video a different way
Select using fuzzy select with a threshold 255. Invert selection. Onto the bottom layer and clear selection. Select None. Use Image -> Zealous crop.
See this picture just AFTER I did the CUT :
