However in the following shot which is a medium-long shot of Kohut while Walter is performing; one of the female teachers is sitting in a different chair and a male teacher that was closest to Kohut is no longer sitting there but his belongings are on the chair. Then in the following shot after that, after Walter finishes his audition; the missing male teacher is back in his seat.
When Walter is auditioning there is a medium close-up shot of Kohut with her left hand on her lap and the right hand resting on the chair. However in the next immediate cut which is also a medium close-up; both her hands are on her lap. Additionally; during the aforementioned cuts, the piano music is edited so that the musical passages from one cut to another are disjointed.
