the mirror scene

For this shoot we had to buy a mirror, since none of us already had one that would work in the scene. Due to it being brand new the white frame was a lot cleaner compared to the white screen and showed the difference in two colours. However, this should be able to be corrected when editing. While this shot is going to be have the black and white effect on  it, we are still planning on isolating the colour of the name (Gal Gadot) that will be written.


The mirror scene has been the hardest scene to shoot so far. This is because we had to create a white background for around the mirror but also for in the reflection of the mirror. As well as this, it was extremely difficult for Maddie Brownlow (the cinematographer) to film from the angle that we wanted, without her being visible in the reflection of the mirror.


Previously, we had tested out how we wanted the name to be written and we came to the decision that Kelly's handwriting was the best suited. Therefore, in the shot we had most of the name already written and I just had to finish of writing the T. This helped to keep my interaction with the mirror quite short so that once I exit the scene, the time in which the camera is still focused on the mirror can be lengthened, without becoming boring, to make sure the actors name is made prominent.
