Changeling (2008)

Corrected entry: Reverend Briegleb broadcasts a radio show from the pulpit. Shots alternate between him speaking in the church and the transmission being heard on the radio, suggesting it is a live programme and therefore not being edited. In the shots in the church, there is substantial echo. When we hear the transmission on the radio, there is no echo to be heard. (00:14:00 - 00:15:00)

Correction: Which is exactly what happens in real life. The microphone at the pulpit picks up his voice directly, from a short distance, and broadcasts it immediately to the airwaves. Because of the acoustics in the church, the live audience could hear an echo that is not heard on the broadcast, since they have a large open reverberating space to try to hear his voice.
