Mirror shot research

Mac 5 have one last scene to film, which features Hannah standing in front of a mirror, in a bathroom.
 We have found some examples of how we want this scene to look, and we have carefully selected the framing and composition of each shot to make the scene effective. 

We have been given this really cool underwater camera, which we are going to use to get a close up shot of Hannah scooping up the water.




Here (30s-50s) is an example of what we mean from We Need To Talk About Kevin (2011):


We also like the idea of using a close up of the tap, as we already have a shot of Hannah by a sink in our previous location. This is somewhat similar to how Kevin Spacey's bathroom monologue begins in Casino Jack (2010):



We think a POV shot would work quite nicely here - Enter The Void (2009) shows us how this could be achieved:


Here is a compilation of movies which feature a few more bathroom/ mirror scenes:



We don't want the scene to be scary, as we are aware that scenes like these are quite cliché as it is.

We do however, want the scene to show our character's unfamiliarity with herself, and we think that using a mirror is probably the easiest way to show some of the side effects our character is experiencing, as we previously identified in our drug research.
