Biggest Movie Mistakes - Continuity

Some Of The Biggest Mistakes In Movies...



-Making sure nothing that isn't planned to be in the shot is in the shot. For example on the left is a shot from a film which is set way way before airplanes were around. This is quite an obvious continuity mistake. 
Making sure that your not just checking the actor but everything around them is extremely important. 












-Another small but noticeable mistake is in Lord Of The Rings he has blood stains and dirt on his axe but in the next scene its been cleaned off. 
Its important to check not just the makeup and the background to the movies but the props and the clothing. Making sure they match the previous shot. 
Also making sure that the blood or dirt used in the last shot matches the same in the next. 

-In this one you can see that the tattoo which in the top scene is quite high up on his arm then moves lower down in the next scene. This is a very obvious mistake but easily done because it might look correct up close but when its in shot and the cameras are slightly in the distance this changes the look of the tattoo.
