• Continuity: When the crew is getting in the fire truck near the start, the camera man gets in after the presenter. Next thing, they've switched sides. There was no room for them to switch sides.
  
  
• Boom mic visible: When the men go to chase Jennifer up the stairwell the shadow of the boom mic can be seen briefly. This shouldn't be there since Pablo is only supposed to have a camera.
  
  
• Boom mic visible: When the firemen and the policemen comes up to the elderly women, just before forcing the door, Pablo, the cameraman is in front of them.

• Factual errors: When the protective mask is pulled off the health inspector's face it is revealed that he has a full beard. Men required to wear a protective mask have to be clean shaven for the mask to provide protection.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: Near the end when Angela and Pablo are listening to the recorder in the penthouse, Angela is obviously rewinding the tape. However, when she plays it again, the audio implies that it was fast-forwarded.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: In the final scene Angela repeatedly rewinds the tape recorder to sample snippets of dialogue but she should be fast-forwarding it instead since the recording is a diary describing events in chronological order. Watch the tape reel when she rewinds the tape. As it plays forward the reel turns more times than it was rewound. It is impossible for her to hear very much different dialogue without rewinding the tape much more than she does, and then it wouldn't make sense as the dialogue is chronological. In reality, she would be hearing the same spoken passage repeatedly.
  
  
• Continuity: The old man at the start says that their mobile phones, TV etc don't work but when the Pablo and Angela go up to the third floor to get keys the TV is obviously on and working.
