Fifth filming day: location 4

Today we did some mirror shots, using a vanity mirror and a compact makeup mirror. We felt that using both mirrors helped to give the illusion that Tayla has more than one side to herself - another hint to our audience that her 'demons' are herself.


Using a mirror also introduces the notion of looking, linked to Andrew Goodwin's theory. However, we have not included the voyeuristic treatment of the female body to create sex appeal, inverting Laura Mulvey's male gaze.


In addition, Tayla takes up more of the frame - we have complied with the rule of thirds here, captivating the viewer. It makes the shot look more natural, creating a contrast with our studio shots which have Tayla as the central focal point.
