Why all the microphones in the shots.

Rating: Null/10 (10 October 2003)

In a great many scenes a microphone could be seen bouncing at the top. Did all the microphones have some meaning? I can't believe they were either sloppiness or mistakes. Was this to give the impression of an indie film? Perhaps I am reading to much into and was just an oversight in the shooting and impossible to fix on a limited budget.
