Revealing mistake: When the musicians stop playing and the world leaders start getting up from the table, it goes to a shot spanning the entire table, but also showing the musician's stage.

Then we find that out of place shot was recycled from when Berkhamp actually was onstage and dancing as we see the exact same shot again less than a minute later, this time the shot is where it's supposed to be however this is still a mistake and quite an odd one.
