Tip #166: TRY GETTING AWAY WITH MISTAKES. Magicians pull off magic by controlling what the audience is looking at. The same principle can rescue filmmakers. For example, the original “King Kong” (1933), includes a scene in which electric transmission wires appear in the background. Those wires would be out of place on Skull Island. But few members of the audience see the wires because their attention is focused on the exciting action in the foreground. For a contemporary example, take a look at these frames from “Supraluminique,” a Mobile Movie of the Week directed by Benjamin Lapierre and Alexandre Gaudou. You’ll find the answer in the comments section. Should you find yourself in this situation—that is, something you don’t want in the frame—because you cut it out or reshoot, run the clip by a test audience. If you’re lucky, they won’t notice the glitch.
