The Changeling

Continuity mistake: When John finds the diary in the hidden attic room the date on the front reads "January 1909", however later on when Claire reads it she says "January 4th 1909." (00:33:55 - 00:36:38)

Continuity mistake: When John is removing the shelves, in front of the hidden door, almost all the clutter vanishes after he removes the first shelf. It would have taken him a lot longer. (00:30:27)

Continuity mistake: When John is pushing his car through the snow (with his wife and daughter) you can see the snow on the road is thick and solid. When John enters the phone box the snow suddenly becomes very slushy and muddy. (00:01:30)

Suggested correction: You can't see the full roof in the second image because it's a low-angle shot looking up. But if you look closely, you can indeed see a little bit peeking out, and even see the tips of the two attic windows. Furthermore, it was a house exterior they built specifically for the film... what purpose would there be for removing the roof for this one random shot?

Other mistake: When John first enters the attic room, it's a roughly 8ft by 8ft small space. Yet after he opens the music box, the camera pulls back and the area is suddenly much wider.

John Russell: It's my understanding... that there are, uh... twenty-three students registered... for this series of lectures on advanced musical form. Now, we all know it's not raining outside, and unless there's a fire in some other part of the building that we don't know about, there's an awful lot of people here with nothing better to do.
