Inspirational Scene - Spiderman Willem Dafoe 'Mirror Scene'



Despite Spider man being one of my favorite super-heroes it has been a while since I have watched the Sam Raimi films and I'm not embarrassed to say that I screamed in what can only be described as giddy school girl delight when the frankly creepy scene with Willem Dafoe having a two way conversation with himself in a mirror came on as this is very similar to what I envisioned and wanted to try to create for my trailer.

The way that this scene was filmed is very interesting and has helped provide some ideas of how I could film the 'double' in the mirror for my trailer. In the scene, the camera approaches the mirror at an angle so that the camera isn't in shot as Norman Osborn approaches the mirror creepily and talks. Later on the shot changes to a close up of Norman's face as he speaks and switches in between his reflection as the two are having a conversation. As my idea involves the main character's reflection doing something different in the reflection will be tricky to achieve. I could either film the mirror frame and then what I want to be in the mirror and film that way or I could just film Anna talking and then flip the footage in Premier Pro which could prove to be easier.
