Implementing the Reflection Shot

Our group was thrilled with how the reflection shot turned out – it was exactly what we had envisioned. As the director, I took a step back and trusted the cinematographer with the task of positioning the angle, while I focused on the shot in its entirety. What truly stood out to me was the beautiful sunset in the distance. It helped enhance the shot's overall aesthetic. 

I made sure to check in with the cinematographer to ensure that the chosen angle would perfectly frame the sunset. Initially, we had planned for the actress to mirror the pose in our reference image, with her arm raised. However, we quickly realized that this gesture obstructed the view of the sunset and diminished its impact. After some discussion, we decided to stray from the original inspiration and adjust the shot to keep the sunset as a focal point, which ultimately elevated the composition.
