How to Film a Mirror

During the filming process, there were a variety of techniques we had to implement in order to create our opening. One of the most unique and helpful happened when Austin and I had to film Katherine in front of a mirror taking mirror selfies for a scene. The only issue arises when the camera we were filming with and myself would show up in the reflection; therefore, ruining the shot. So we had to think on our feet and improvise how to overcome this obstacle, and that is exactly what we did.


I came up with the idea to have Katherine screen record her phone while taking pictures of herself in the mirror in various poses, so that while filming Katherine will just have to match the movement of herself in the video. This allows us to film herself and her phone in the mirror taking pictures without having the camera in the video which is exactly the shots that we needed.
