they filmed her terrible running form, and then filmed the same scene but in the mirror's reflection of the hallway. then put the two together, thats how they got such a great scene.
The mirror is neither fixed on the wall nor is it directly perpendicular to either the camera or the actress. It's instead shot at an angle so it appears as if she's running directly at the mirror, when in fact she's running directly at the reflection of the camera IN the mirror, while the mirror-camera rig is leading her up the stairs and down the hall.
You can see the image morphing into a "reflection" at 0:26
This is two different shots. One in front of her, running, and one over the shoulder as she opens the cabinet. The image has been inserted in place of the originale reflection in the OTS shot, and altered to look like a mirror reflection
Actually, you could do this shot with no green screens if you filmed the whole shot through the mirror and simply moved the cabinet with the camera. When she reaches for the cabinet, the camera could zoom or dolly out to reveal the mirror.
Freeze it at 0:29 just as her hand reaches for the knob. Note the position of the hand - it's different in the reflection in the mirror, her index finger is very bent, but the other image shows it more straight.
At around :22 she almost moves back a tiny bit while running. Makes me believe that that is when they started filming using the reflection and just pieced the clip together. Definitely trippy non the less.
The mirror was a blue screen and then they flipped the shot in post production. They have used the same type of shot in the film "Strange Days" and "Inception". Here is Zemeckis talking about it:
i doubt the mirror is really reflecting anything, 2 shots, one inside the other, her hand is not in sync when she reaches for the handle on the cabinet.
this one is easy, the mirror isn't a mirror at all, its a blue screen. The scene with her running was shot prior and then added to the scene where she opens the mirror, the orange sleeve in the opening scene gives it away
the camera is in the same spot slowly zooming out as she comes closer and then revealing its a mirror the camera wasn't moving its facing the mirror the whole time (except when she was running up the stairs that was probably a different shot)
You can see in the "mirrored" image that she continues reaching (her hand is JUST grabbing while the "real" one is opening) while the "non-mirrored" image is opening the door. Therefore, the tracking shot of her running ends with her entering the bathroom and reaching just near the camera (no bathroom has a sink/cabinet straight ahead from the door). A separate shot is of the door being opened (probably with a green screen on the front of the door, I can almost make out the glow on her sleeve).
I'm betting the camera was pointed into the mirror the entire time....as proof I raise you spatial distortion using a zoom lense... while zoomed in, the background appears to be the same size as the subject. At wide angles, the background tends to look smaller, compared to an up-close subject. So, for visual confirmation, watch as she crests the stairs, and approaches the cabinet, that the hallway appears longer, and longer.
The camera was tracking because its a continuous shot, includes the turn at the top of the stairs, so I think that both the mirror and the camera were tracking. Most of the tracking shot the camera was near the floor and the mirror was tilted forward at the top to make it appear straight on to the girl. As she reaches the mirror we see (not in the reflection but on her, almost the back of her head.So at the close approach to mirror pont the camera pulls back and up and to the viewers left.
@ersatzar -- You're looking at her sleeve as she is running, before the reach shot with the orange sleeve. Just after that, though, as she is reaching....the reflection has no orange shirt at all, it is black. It is two shootings with one place on a green-screened square made to give it a mirror effect.
this was really incredible... i'm really amazed... actually if i saw it in the film itself i wouldn't even notice... but i'm actually really impressed
how i would have shot this have the medecine cabinet mirror on wheels, and probably attached to the camera platform itself - so as she reaches for the knob, the camera slowly pans just to the right and away from the mirror. the platform is probably on wheels, and is running with her as she runs down the hall. excellent cinematography though.
While stedicam ops do get paid a fair amount of money, they don't actually run backwards. They point the camera backwards and watch the footage through a monitor while filming.
@grannywhereyaat Yellow is inside the coat, orange is the sweater she's wearing but it still does not show in the mirror as it comes out of the coat's sleeve when she reaches for the knob.
She's actually wearing an orange sweater underneath the coat, which has a yellow inner lining. If you look carefully you can see the orange sweater at 0:30 - 0:31, as well as the sweater itself at the opening of the video. It's not a slip up.
Just clever compositing. Hand coming from off screen is an entirely different shot. The footage of her running up the stairs, down the hall and reaching up to the mirror handle was "framed" into the mirror which creates a very nice illusion. However, if you watch the hand reach up to the mirror very carefully you can see that they don't quite match up.
The Scene was definitely shot separately and digitally fixed on to the mirror. Otherwise we wouldn't be able to see the wall of the hallway behind the trim on the door.
@sausagenmuff Oh well that's pretty obvious. Notice the buttons on her shirt at the beginning are on her left side. When it cuts to the part where shes running up the stairs they are on her right. So this entire shot is done off the mirror. What's messing with your heads is thinking the mirror in the bathroom is a fixed object on the wall.
the camera and mirror are actually moving with her, thats why you dont see anything other than the medicine cabinet. the camera is slightly askew which is why you see the cabinet from the left side.
Şimdi şöyle efennim. Staticam kızı önden takip ediyor ve kız belirtilen yere geldiğinde duruyor ve elini sanki kapağı açıyormuş gibi yapıyor ve kamera sağa doğru dönüyor. ikinci sahne :
kız, sağlık dolabını açıyor ama ayna yeşil ile kaplı. sonra bunlar birleştiriliyor. Hadi geçmiş olsunnnnn :)
the both shots are different besides her fingers, the Over the shoulder shot she is comfortably open the door where as in the reflection she's actually streching, look at her head position!

-This girl, btw, plays Rocket in SuckerPunch - a different movie with hot babes and action but I mention it because it too has weird wonderful camera shots. Scenes going from a stage to real life to a dream and slo-mo and all kinds of goofy fun things. Check it out!
The mirror was replaced with green screen, after shoot a girl sceen they flip the shot and replace it on green screen (the mirror) as you can maybe see the movement of the hand done not mach.
This whole shot is actually made with VFX. The whole bathroom shot, including the mirror were created by an effects artist. During the time of shooting, the girl was blue screened into the foreground and the rest of the elements were created and added in post.
The image in the mirror isn't a reflection of the girl reaching for the medicine cabinet. If you pause at 0:30, you'll notice that the actor reaching towards the cabinet has the red sweater sleeve around her wrist, and the mirror doesnt.The scene of running up the stairs and opening the cabinet were filmed at different times. They got a stand-in to open the cabinet, that way it would LOOK like shes a reflection, but really they just made a greenscreen look like a mirror, then inserted the video.
@ChristianVido You're very correct sir. You can tell this more by pausing the clip anywhere between 0:29 and 0:32 and you will see aliasing on the arm of the stand-in and a touch of green spill. Due to how fast the shot it moving, you wouldn't notice while watching. But paused... it's very obvious.
i think they just stood in front of the mirror and filmed her running down the hall. As she ran closer to the bathroom they zoomed out at the perfect speed and once she approached the mirror they moved out of the way.
Has anyone else noticed that the 'real' sleeve shows an orange jumper sticking out past the coat sleeve, but in the reflection, its not there...or there is something but its definitely not orange! This gives it away quite a bit if you watch it on loop.
to me it's looking like a green screen over the mirror. the reflections don't exactly match up with her hands and fingers if you look closesly. The shot was filmed from the front, running, and edited onto the green screen on the mirror. The end of the scene was filmed again over her shoulder to merge the shots together. That's as simple as I can make it.
Easy its a mirror with a green screen...shoot the scene running up the stairs and composite the whole scene within the green screen mirror. 2nd shot when she gets to the mirror you dolly back about a foot and the girl opens the mirror and grabs the medicine just match up.
it is a composite of two shots using CGI to merge them. When she runs down the hallway she slows down considerably for two seconds, that where the two different shots were merged. After that moment, the second shot takes over all the way until she opens the medicine cabinet, then they just timed her hand open the cabinet until it matched the speed and timing of her hand from the second shot, but you cannot tell they are different shots (her hand in the mirror and the one on the left). Easy.
a shift camera/lens will do the trick, it's nothing really fancy - the camera is just above the girl sliding on a rail on ceiling floor. as you can see, there's no ceiling appear in that scene at all

@ChristianVido You're very correct sir. You can tell this more by pausing the clip anywhere between 0:29 and 0:32 and you will see aliasing on the arm of the stand-in and a touch of green spill. Due to how fast the shot it moving, you wouldn't notice while watching. But paused... it's very obvious.

i think they just stood in front of the mirror and filmed her running down the hall. As she ran closer to the bathroom they zoomed out at the perfect speed and once she approached the mirror they moved out of the way.

@hzuhairy Yeah but if they just filmed the mirror, how did they get her running up the stairs? There's not cut in the shot.

@djBiacco Good point. They probably cut it where she slows down...

Has anyone else noticed that the 'real' sleeve shows an orange jumper sticking out past the coat sleeve, but in the reflection, its not there...or there is something but its definitely not orange! This gives it away quite a bit if you watch it on loop.

to me it's looking like a green screen over the mirror. the reflections don't exactly match up with her hands and fingers if you look closesly. The shot was filmed from the front, running, and edited onto the green screen on the mirror. The end of the scene was filmed again over her shoulder to merge the shots together. That's as simple as I can make it.

Easy its a mirror with a green screen...shoot the scene running up the stairs and composite the whole scene within the green screen mirror. 2nd shot when she gets to the mirror you dolly back about a foot and the girl opens the mirror and grabs the medicine just match up.

it is a composite of two shots using CGI to merge them. When she runs down the hallway she slows down considerably for two seconds, that where the two different shots were merged. After that moment, the second shot takes over all the way until she opens the medicine cabinet, then they just timed her hand open the cabinet until it matched the speed and timing of her hand from the second shot, but you cannot tell they are different shots (her hand in the mirror and the one on the left). Easy.

a shift camera/lens will do the trick, it's nothing really fancy - the camera is just above the girl sliding on a rail on ceiling floor. as you can see, there's no ceiling appear in that scene at all

I think they shoot two scenes.
First the clip she´s walking up the stairs.
The camera is moving just in front of her.
In the second scene they shoot her open
the locker.But there isn´t any mirror but a blue or green screen matte.
The first sequence is just overlayed on the second greenscreen matte.
Then you will have such video scene!!!
