This scene from Black Swan is a great example of the use of mirrors in a psychological thriller. The mirror shows the main character's 'inner demon'. It also gives an examples of how music can be used to increase the shock value of what is being seen on screen.
I'm using this sequence from Shutter Island as a way to help me with my dream sequence. This sequence is really strong when it comes to the colours of the mise-en-scene helping to show that it is a dream sequence as it highly contrasts with the original locations of the film.
This clip from American Psycho shows a way in which violence can quite really be a metaphor for someone's personality. The blood on the characters face is also a very nice touch, how it only covers half of his face. The again is a reference to a split personality/devil within theme.
The opening to Donnie Darko is a great example of how the narrative and mise-en-scene can create a lot of enigmatic features to a film.
