Revealing mistake: The camera occasionally pans sideways through walls as characters travel from room to room. In two instances, a visible edit can be seen between the rooms, revealing that they are not in fact adjacent parts of the set, but rather were spliced together. In the latter of these two, an electrical outlet disappears mid-transition.
