A handy way to instantly convey multiple facets of your focal character/s, setting, or general premise is to put them next to a reflective surface (like a mirror, a window, a body of water, or a very shiny kitchen floor) and dedicate a part of your key visual to reflecting them. Instead of a mirror image, however, the reflection is different in some way. Common ways to play the Juxtaposed Reflection Poster include: Showing the character at a different point in time. The reflection will be an older or younger version, showing either how far they've come or how far they have yet to go. Representing a desire or dream they may have for themselves. There is no guarantee they will achieve or realize it, although they could, but it primarily serves to symbolize what they want. Displaying another aspect of your character. Perhaps they live a double life, and said double life is shown in the reflection. Supernatural shenanigans, such as an Alternate Self. In horror films, the reflection might have subtle differences to highlight insidious goings-on. Compare The Shadow Knows (another aspect of a character is shown through their shadow), The Mirror Shows Your True Self (a supernatural creature's true form is reflected in a mirror), and Mirror Monster (a supernatural creature who shows up in or around mirrors), Inverted Portrait (a stylized depiction of a character upside-down). Other related poster tropes involve Back-to-Back Poster, which mirrors/parallels two different characters but can also be used to contrast aspects, and Juxtaposed Halves Shot, which meaningfully splits a body shape in two — the two can overlap if the juxtaposition is via a reflection. |

Frequency is about a father, Frank, in 1996 who can communicate with his daughter Raimy in 2016. The poster◊ has Frank and Raimy stand in their respective times (differentiated with an Orange/Blue Contrast) while also being reflected in the bottom poster... but Frank's reflection is Raimy, and Raimy's reflection is Frank. | |

A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy's Revenge: One poster has Jesse embracing Lisa as he stares at his reflection in a mirror. Half of the reflection's face is a skull with an exposed eyeball and has Freddy's claws resting on Lisa's back. Part of the reflection is cut (maybe it's a window) to show a dark-blue sky with a lightning and the silhouette of a crow. | |

Avengers: Endgame: One of the teaser posters released in the lead-up to the show has the Marvel Cinematic Universe's first three leading men, Thor, Captain America, and Iron Man, standing in current costume beside a body of water. Their reflections in the water show how they were in their first films (Thor has longer hair and Mjölnir like he did in Thor, Captain America is a scrawny young man like he was at the beginning of Captain America: The First Avenger, and Iron Man has the prototype armor he built in Iron Man) emphasizing how far the characters have come since then. | |

Enchanted: One of the posters◊ has a navy blue strip with the title in gold, cutting the image in two. The upper part depicts a close of Giselle/Amy Adams' wide-eyed face, with New York in the background. The lower part depicts Giselle (upside down) with the same expression but animated, with Andalasia in the background. This immediately establishes the duality of the film's two settings: the animated fairy tale world and live-action New York. | |

The Outsider's poster shows a creepy figure reflected in the surface of a lake◊...except there's nobody standing over it that would cast the reflection. The identity of the killer who caused the Plot-Triggering Death is the Driving Question, and the symbolism of the poster is eventually explained with El Cuco, a creature capable of Humanshifting, who would have no definitive appearance anyway. | |
