In this image Nicola is wedged between two extras, making her appear defenceless and an easy target. It looks very intimidating the way it is two against one. Also the narrow walls make it a very tight squeeze with nowhere to escape. The way she is dressed would suggest she is unpopular and less fashionable compared to the girl on her left. The lurid colours of the corridor create an uncomfortable mood. All of this contributes to creating a sense of anxiety and anticipation of the audience which is typical for thriller genre.
We decided to film this scene in the mirror because Daniel is towering over Nicola making him appear threatening. Also the lighting in the mirror is stronger, drawing immediate attention to what is happening. Using the mirror image allows us to break the 180 degree rule which is disconcerting for the audience, adding to the disturbing mood in this scene. We also used soft touch to convey clearly to the audience that this is a flashback.
