Boom Mics and Crew visible at cinema???

I’ve always wanted to know… when I was younger we went to see “Saw” when it came out in the cinema (UK)

Anyway – you could see the crew, guys holding the booms, mics, lights.

As it was a new film – we thought it was part of it to start with. Like maybe they were filing a movie (in the movie)

You could even see over the walls of the room they were locked in. With crew looking over it.

About 40mins in – they stopped the film. And when it restarted, they were gone.

I’ve never seen anything like this before. And I’d love to know what happened.

I can’t understand why the extra stuff wasn’t cut out like by setting the project size in premier pro (eg – 1920×1080) then anything that shouldn’t be in frame would be gone.

Can anyone explain this?

Also – would there be any way to see it again???
