Visible crew/equipment: After the math class scene, we see Marcus from behind as he walks toward the bulletin board to sign up for the talent show. In the upper right corner of the frame, there are someone's feet/black shoes and edge of a garment dangling from above. If they don't belong to a crew member, perhaps they belong to Ellie, her part in the scene having been cut out.
