I know it is a Dogma film but when The Idiots are being shown around the factory is the boom supposed to be seen and when the spasser who is getting taking away by her Dad is the camera supposed to be seen in the reflection of the car window. Who knows??
'Here is a man who would not take it anymore!'
Of course not. There's same kind of flaws in every movie.
shareIt isn`t always intended, but they make no effort hiding that this is really a movie. And that is intentional, not sloppy editing.
The best example is that at one point the second cameraman is to slow to get out of the picture and is shown backing out of the view when the camera swings, but they did`nt reshoot the scene. (When the couple interested in buying the house is looking at it.)
At the end of the movie I saw the boom for the first time. Ater that I started counting and saw it three times.
shareits not a mistake, its the meaning to see this!!!
I can tell you Lars von Trier also have, in postproduction, insert the sound from the camera in some films.
He think people must be avare of it is a movie, therefore hes does that.
he didnt do it on purpose, but i think he felt re-shooting would take away the immediacy and rawness away that he wanted to achieve with Dogme95

As msimpso83 says... it wasn't the plan, but Von Trier would never cut things like that out or re-shoot it in this film... It's Dogme!
He says on the commentary track for Breaking the Waves that with all the "Golden Heart" films he would purposely select takes that had the most technical errors, but only if he felt that the performance in that take was justifiable. As another user pointed out, he also dubbed in the sound of the camera and the footsteps of the crew in a few scenes in Breaking the Waves and Dancer, in order to make the film even rougher than it already was. I think the shots here in which both crew and equipment can be seen (albeit, briefly) is merely an extension of this ideology.
sharei thought one of the rules in the manifesto was that you couldn't alter the recorded sound of a picture. Wouldn't adding camera noise be in violation of his own manifesto? On there page they were even saying that a dubbed, or translated version of a film was in violation of these rules for that same rule.
Hell of a thing, killin' a man. Take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have.
If you read closely, you'll notice that I only mentioned Breaking the Waves and Dancer in the Dark in regards to the added "bad" sound... not the Idiots. Since these two films werem't made as part of the Dogme manifesto, it was completely justifiable on von Trier's part.
