On our first shooting day before we set off with recording Matt and Jordan decided to do some reflection testing in the mirror above the fireplace which they could incorporate as some type of shot in the storyboard of our opening. They thought that they could capture the protagonist exiting or entering the room from one of the following angles. Therefore by doing this they can also show someone else in the mirror or in the background behind her which she cannot see. As after researching into mirrors in horror films we know that they sometimes present paranormal, souls and ghosts to be trapped in mirrors or a mirrors a gateway to seeing these spirits. For example:

The reason we decided to try out reflection testing is because we think it creates a really good effect and would fit in with our horror film opening as it can look scary if done properly.
