Where is the reflection in the mirror

People who have seen ,movies like Inception or Bruce lee 's Enter the dragon,might have observed that at one particular scene ,the mirrors are drwn directly to face the camera's...But we cant see camera nor the shooting scenes in the mirrors .

How did they manage this..???

Filmi techniques..or physics???which one ...i dont get ....

Can anyone explain..

    That's one thing I wondered all the time. Never bothered to 'search' for a solution though. It would be interesting if someone can tell us the trick ๐Ÿ˜‰

    They might use the Green Screen technique to render the mirror during the movie?

    Nope, that's not what they use for sure. I'm quite sure they've quite great camera angles.

    Green screen is shooting the actors in front of a big green screen and then removing the green background through computer video editing.

    Yep it is camera angle. Assume that there is an imaginary plane from center of a mirror. Let us say you are at an angle of 50 degrees or more to this plane and distance wise a bit away, person next to you won't be able to see you in mirror.

    This is what is the position of camera. I guess this is the reason. Try this in your room mirror.

    @Issue..I still didnt get which of the 2 lines indicate the mirror ??
    Also if you are refering to the angle at which the camera is placed..its ok ....looks fine..
    But again my doubt revolves around the MOVIE INCEPTION..where the camera can be considered as directly perpendicular...just check out the movie...

    I think the thick horizontal line indicates the mirror, am I right Issue?
    It is possible to capture perpendicular reflection in the mirror.

    But then how did they capture this, between two parallel mirros? ๐Ÿ˜•
