Character Styling

Ayaan and Samara are the two main characters of Mirror's Deception. Both the characters were styled in a way matching the overall aura of the characters. Ayaan, the protagonist is an introvert character who suffers spectrophobia. Ayaan's character was styled in grey and moody tones. Mostly black oversized hoodies were preferred inorder to create a moody look. And Samara was the antagonist who had a femme-fatale aura. Extrovert and mysterious character was styled with black and deep blood tones. The over all character gave a mysterious look.

Movie starts with a christmas event, where the set was designed with lights and christmas decor. The set design for the major scenes were created with a dark ambience inorder to give an intense feel of Samara's evil side. The whole ambience was elevated through low red and warm yellow lighting along with candles. Creepy posters and violin were added to increase a scary feeling.
