And I agree with your post. |

| | | I agree.
Had the filmmakers cared more, a lot of the mistakes wouldn't be there. In many films there are VERY obvious mistakes, and the main reason is that so many people are involved in making the films that often no one takes on ultimate responsibility. I know that if I made a film I'd make sure these things didn't happen. No, really, I would. They don't tend to go back and change it when it's done, even if they notice mistakes themselves when it's doen. They don't show the film to an ammount of people asking them if they noticed anything, they don't REALLY make sure theyre facts are correct and theyre situations are even possible.
It can ruin the mood and remind the wiewers that it's just a movie, and that is a big deal for a movie. It's the makers duty to keep people into it.
A lot of the time indie films have less mistakes, I think due to more passion & less people.
I don't think one should whine about teeny tiny millisecond mistakes you only notice if you're pretty much looking for them though, theyre actually mistakes that could have gone unoticed and are ok to leave in there anyway.
But if you truly care for your film, the bigger ones shouldnt be there. |

| | i suppose really when your making the film there are other matters to really worry about its like the elephant in the living room scenairo... plus what the hell would film geeks do with their time if there were no errors and goofs? i mean discussing the continuity error in terminator has occupied many of my school lessons....
so in essence HCH, they are merely there so you can fill up your time with annoying people by pointing out the obvious  |

It was brutal, but he made sure every detail was just right, and the woman responsible for continuity was just as severe. On top of that, all of the actors involved were primarily theater actors and were damn good. My boyfriend was in charge of sound recording and the boom mic, and even he got picky at numerous points when he felt the sound could be better.
On top of that, we were barely paid, but helped this guy out because we wanted to; and the finished product came out wonderfully.
I've had other filming experiences, including having to re-create some messy special make-up effects over and over, but it was worth it.
As exhausting as it can be, if you are devoted enough to your production, you have to pay attention to every detail. |

| | | a lot of films are made in the editing room and maybe continuity errors dont become apparent until then. i usually notice them.... i think every single movie has some... they are unavoidable unless the dailies are edited exactly how they will appear in the final version. continuity errors, and lost storylines probably happen because a film usually goes through so many incarnations. other mistakes might not be mistakes at all. anachronisms having to do with technology or some kind of device might happen because the director figures that most of the audience wont pick up that its a modern version of what its supposed to be in the movie. (i.e. cars) if most people wont pick up on it and its cheaper, why not? |

| | | actually I was at imdb.com and that's how I found out about the goofs on Marie Antoinette, I hadn't noticed a single one. And some are so not errors, like for instance in the ball room scene, that opera house apparently didn't exist in the 1700's but who cares?? and there is a scene where kirsten is running through a corridor with lamps instead of candles, but they perfectly pass as candles so.
Thanks imdb.com for ruining my film experience with this movie!!!! I'm telling you that site is dreadful.
I'm not one of those people who look at movies for the mistakes, when I see a movie I totally get into it till it feels real and I never really notice mistakes. But I was just wondering. |

I've noticed and corrected supposed mistakes in some of my favorite films, but now I ignore the goofs section altogether. |

| | | it's evil, that's what it is. It's the section for obsessed people that are obsessed with cinema but they don't really love it, I mean they are just obsessive and it's the same for them to be obsessed with cinema as it is the same being obsessed with the cute girl next door they'll never have. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
