The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1

Corrected entry: When Edward and Bella kiss at their wedding, the camera pans around. As it pans, the seats are empty and no one is there. When they stop kissing, everyone is back.

zucodragon

Correction: This is done on purpose to show that Edward and Bella are so focused on each other that they are nearly oblivious to everyone around them.

Corrected entry: The first night Bella and Edward arrive at the island, Bella is frustrated with Alice because she didn't pack her any bathing suits so she had to skinny dip. However, the next few scenes, she magically has a white bathing suit for the waterfall.

Correction: Bella's not frustrated because she can't find a bathing suit; she's freaking out because Alice has packed all kinds of embarrassing sexy lingerie.

Aerinah

Corrected entry: In the last few scenes of the film, when the Cullens are crossing Bella's hands on her stomach, you will see a ring on her left ring finger that is not her wedding ring. Then they place her right hand on top of her left hand and her wedding ring is on the right ring finger. The wedding ring is still on her right ring finger throughout the shot when the camera zooms in and shows a close up shot from her head to where her hands are resting on her stomach.

Correction: You're right that the large oval diamond-studded engagement ring is on Bella's right hand, while there is a plain band on her left hand. This is not a mistake, however. When Bella got married she decided to wear the wedding band on her left hand [like you're supposed to] and, since the setting on the engagement ring is too big to wear it on the same finger as the wedding band, she transferred it to her right hand instead. If you watch closely you'll see that whenever she wears both rings they are worn this way.

Aerinah

Corrected entry: In the scene where Esme takes sandwiches to Jacob, Leah, and Seth, she holds her hand out to give them the food. The scene cuts to another angle, and she offers them the food again.

loopylou992

Correction: I've watched this several times. Esme actually offers the sandwiches to each person (Seth, Jacob, and Leah) one-at-a-time. Esme first gives a sandwich to Seth, who takes it, but when one is offered to Leah, she refuses. Esme then hands a sandwich to Jacob.

Corrected entry: When Charlie and Renee are speaking to Bella before the wedding, she starts off with one wave hanging down on the right side, and then it goes from behind her ears to in front in between shots, and changes sides at least once.

NatalieNinetales

Correction: This is not a mistake you are seeing the way it looks in the mirror. The shot referred to "Alice and Rosalie switching places" is a reflection as the camera is looking in the mirror.

Corrected entry: When Alice is putting in Bella's hair comb, Alice and Rosalie constantly change sides from shot-to-shot. At one point, Alice is behind Bella on the left and Rosalie is on the right, and in the next shot, they switch, then switch back.

Correction: They don't change sides at all. The scene is shot from two viewpoints, one looking directly at the three, then from behind them and you are seeing their reversed reflections in the mirror, making it look like they switched places next to Bella. You can see the back of Bella's head at the bottom right-hand corner of the screen as she looks into the mirror.

Corrected entry: In the scene where they get the idea for Bella to drink blood, Jacob moves to the other side of the couch away from Bella twice.

Brad

Correction: Jacob does move twice, but it is not the same shot. First, he is next to Bella (to keep her warm) before moving away. After a brief interval, he moves from that spot to even farther away and then on to an adjacent sofa.

raywest

Corrected entry: After the housekeepers come in, Bella and Edward sit on the couch and Bella puts on a purple shirt over her tank top. They begin to make out when the maid comes in. When they cut from the maid to Edward and Bella again her purple shirt has disappeared.

Correction: Actually, she is still wearing the purple shirt, but its sleeve gets pushed up over the top of her shoulder, making it look like she only has the sleeveless tank top on. If you look closely, you can see she is still wearing the purple shirt.

raywest

Corrected entry: Even though Edward is in Brazil and on Esme's island during the honeymoon scenes, he is not sparkling, which the vampires are supposed to do in sunlight. This is also noticeable during the daytime scenes when he is playing chess and is swimming with Bella in the waterfall/river.

Tricia Webster

Correction: Actually, when they are playing chess, the sun is not out. He does sparkle once, when they are about to jump from the top of the water fall. You can briefly see his shoulder sparkle for a little bit.

Corrected entry: When Alice is putting in Bella's hair clip before the wedding, she puts it in once, and the shot changes angle and you see her put it in again. It's because the girls change places too, first Alice is on the left and Rosalie is putting the clip in her hair, it pans out and back at them and then they are on opposite sides and Alice is putting the clip in.

loopylou992

Correction: The moment of putting in the hair clip in is just overlapping by change of angle and capturing Bella's mimic. And Rosalie and Alice don't change places, it's just the view in the mirror between the views from in front of all of them.

Revealing mistake: When Bella calls Rosalie, you can briefly see the cell phone screen before she puts it to her ear. The lock screen is still visible, showing she didn't dial anything. (00:55:45)

Emmett Cullen: Bella, I hope you've been getting enough sleep these last 18 years, because you won't be getting any more for a while.

More trivia for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1

Question: In the credits at the end, there is a Volturi scene where Aro reads a message written by his receptionist "Swwwweet Bianca." He points out that she spelt Carlisle's name incorrectly, then he gestures to the guards, to take her away and kill her. Of the note, he says, "First, it's the spelling, then the grammar." What does this mean? (What does he mean by "then the grammar"?).

Answer: He's merely justifying why Bianca should be killed. While reading the note, he notes that she misspelled "Carlisle", then surmises she'll also make grammar errors. Aro does not tolerate imperfections, has little regard for human life, and most likely intended to dispose of her.
