- Mirror shots in movies are especially challenging, as it's hard to shoot a character's reflection without accidentally revealing the camera, so Hollywood has many visual tricks to avoid this. Movies like "The Lady from Shanghai" and "It Chapter Two" used two-way mirrors. "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" didn't use a mirror at all and instead had Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton standing on one side of an open frame looking into a double set with body doubles mimicking their every move. Better visual effects meant movies like "Birdman" could shoot a real mirror and easily erase the camera later. For "Last Night in Soho," Edgar Wright used a combination of these techniques, and many more, so Thomasin McKenzie and Anya Taylor-Joy could mirror each other's movements.
