Line 31:
** In the making of ''[[WALL-E]]'', the Pixar animators brought in renowned cinematographer Roger Deakins to demonstrate real-world lighting and camera techniques, using real cameras, lenses and lights, which they then replicated digitally in the film. He was highly amused they wanted to duplicate effects that technicians and equipment makers have been trying since the advent of film to eliminate.
** There's been a jarring trend for makers of [[3D Movie]]s to add in lens flare and ''then'' apply 3D effects to it. This makes ''lens flare'' come out of the screen towards you.
* The stroboscopic effect often seen on spoked wheels, fans, helicopter blades, etc. is another example of a camera artifact which is so expected by audiences that it's left in, even though there ''are'' cameras and shutter mechanisms available which would eliminate it. Although there are situations where stroboscopic effects are visible to the naked eye, commonly observered under street lights (50 or 60 hertz flicker), and sometimes even in broad daylight (PNAS article [https://web.archive.org/web/20141014050629/http://www.pnas.org/content/93/8/3693.abstract here]).
* Morse code is always received as through a WWII-era radio: bee-beep-beep-bee-bee-beep.
* Use of defibrillators (those machines that deliver a short pulse of electric current via two paddles when someone has one of a number of heart condition emergencies) always causes the recipient to flex up from the bed. And never in real life. It looks slightly less dramatic in real life, if it weren't for, erm, it being in real life.
Line 112:
** The distinctive "ping" sound of M1 Garands make is very soft compared to the round firing. You're more likely to hear it because the clip hit something hard.
* Here are few things about fruit that you may seem wrong if they aren't portrayed wrong:
** Coconuts. The brown, furry part we're used to seeing is actually the "stone" of a mature coconut. Coconuts themselves are [https://web.archive.org/web/20111112135953/http://img.alibaba.com/photo/104498637/Young_Green_Coconut.jpg very different-looking].
** ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', on the other hand, actually both got this right. There's even a boss where you're told to hit coconuts back at him. This trope is so ingrained that some players will try to hit the [[Violation of Common Sense|big brown rocks that are clearly on fire]] instead of the harmless green things.
*** Likewise with ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''.
