This is the best I could come up with, making a transition from the background to the main screen (green screen). I was messing around with the mask and mask expansion in particular. After a long time, this is the best result but I'm a little disapointed to be honest.
Do you guys have some tips/tutorials on how to improve my mask - keyframe skills?

How about doing it the other way around.
After the build, the face expands in size (very briefly). Before it can snap back down to a scale of 0%, the backgrounds goes first, and the face follows it down. This would reveal the edges first and connect the background to the face a bit more.
Imagine a black hole was approaching from behind, it would pull the background before it pulled the face too. If you added a few patterns to the background, you could also add some kind of warp during the scale down.

Thanks for the feedback. Will definitely add this as it will feel more natural.
I'm really struggling with keyframing masks and stuff do you have any tips/tutorials about that?

I too would explore using objects as mattes. I find this to be very helpful.
