I would recommend reading Walter Murch's book "In the blink of An eye" and his theory. These little details and mistakes are not important. As you say nobody will notice them. It is the job of the director, dop and the editor that the feeling of the scene gets to the audience. I honestly don't get it why you would nitpick about these little details and didn't chose an example to talk about how the emotion gets translated to the screen instead of talking about the position of scheeps. Emotion is the most important thing, continuity not. Again, search for Walter Murch's Rule of Six. And even then! Later in that scène of doctor strange it is revealed that the whole field was artificially made by Wanda, something (I think) they wanted to to emphasize with the first insert.
Thanks for the recommendations! I'll check them out. If you look around the site you'll see that I've written about the importance of establishing emotion in film, and the various ways that it's accomplished, many, many times. But from a filmmaking point of view, which is also something I'm interested in, that sequence is really a mess, and very sloppy. Interestingly, it's also far below the standard of the work that Raimi is capable of. IMHO, all of this raises a lot of worthwhile questions for people who are interested in filmmaking and not just fandom.
