Shazam! Director Picks Apart A Scene From The Film In New Video

Shazam: Fury Of The Gods Photos Show Helen Mirren In Costume

We’ve all seen those videos that point out all the mistakes you find in movies, and from time to time you’ll even hear the odd fan spouting about how the bad continuity is in certain films. However, by and large, movies do a really good job of covering up all the little mistakes and making the very chaotic process of making movies look seamless.

Yes, you’ll find the odd Starbucks coffee cup where it shouldn’t be, or you’ll notice that a character has managed to change clothes when the camera cuts away. But, unless something is really off-putting, you wouldn’t notice most of these things, until they are pointed out to us that is. Now David F. Sandberg director of the recent Shazam! movie has taken viewers behind the curtain of filmmaking a little to explain how these things can sometimes come about, and also how sometimes they can be unavoidable.

Check the video above, but in summary, Sandberg talks us through a little bit of problem-solving that happens when making a movie, and he uses his recent Shazam! movie as an example. He also explains how sometimes solving problems can lead to little ‘mistakes’ that some eagle-eyed fans would notice. I have to say of all the examples he gave, the only one that stood out to me from Shazam! was when the parents left the house and the kids got left at home. I totally understand why this had to be done, but it felt like bad parenting to me at the time and I haven’t changed my mind on that. I guess you can’t win them all?

I especially loved his honesty when describing how problem-solving can occasionally make a film better without anyone really realizing it. Sandberg uses the example of Darla who of course ends up the fastest of the superhero family. Fans pointed out that it was a nice arc for Darla that she went from being always the slowest of the family to the fastest. As Sandberg says in the video, you take the credit even when it happens by accident.

I hope if nothing else it shows fans how we shouldn’t be overly critical of tiny little things, unless it distracts you and pulls you out of the movie, which the majority of ‘mistakes’ don’t. It’s a very interesting watch, so go watch it instead of reading my second-hand version of it.
