When Julia Stiles is in her dad's house talking to her father, you can see the microphone bobbing up and down at the top of the screen. I can't believe they put that take in the movie!!!!!
Maybe it was just me, but I could see the mic in just about every other scene... The dance scene in the cafeteria, sometimes when they were even just walking around. Whoever handled the mic on that set had no idea what he/she was doing.
OK, I have this movie on DVD and either I'm blind or you don't know what your talking about because I don't see any microphone throughout the whole movie. I'm not trying to be mean or nothing, just I don't see it.....
I think the mike only shows in the theater version. They probably edit it out in the DVD version when they crop the screen. I have noticed this in other movies as well, including Erin Brockavich.
I have a friend who loads films into projectors at a local Hoyts cinema and he tells me this: When a movie is shown at a theater it is the film loaders responsibility to center the film so that the top-most and bottom-most sections of the movie are not visible, creating the Widescreen or Letterbox effect. Without this being done the Boom mic will be visible in every shot because more than what your seeing is actually on the film. Later when the movie is made into DVD and VHS the film is again centered and the top and bottom is blocked covering the boom mic and anything else thats not "Part" of the movie.
