Scream

Audio problem: When Ritchie is giving his spiel about fandom, when he's facing away from the camera and says "It's about love!", you can see from his mouth movement that he's saying something else entirely.

Audio problem: When Wes says, "What about Deputy Dewey here? Maybe he's the killer," at the Meeks house, it doesn't match his mouth/lip movements in the slightest. (He's facing away from the camera for part of it due to an edit, but you can still tell from his chin movements that he's saying something else entirely.)

Audio problem: When Ritchie tells Sam, "I'm coming with you," right before they leave the bowling alley, Ritchie's line seems strangely dubbed in. It just doesn't quite match his lip movements for the first half.

Continuity mistake: In the scene outside the hospital, when Gale and Sidney try to make the protagonist reconsider her plan to leave, Courteney Cox's hair changes position in front of either shoulder several times between shots.

Trivia: As a bit of fun, the principal cast reportedly had a "movie night" midway through shooting on Halloween, 2020 where they ate popcorn and watched the original 1996 "Scream."

More trivia for Scream

Question: Why can Liv McKenzie not go to see Tara Carpenter, her co-worker/close friend after her near-murder attack? Her absence is done to draw suspicion on her, but as she is later revealed to not be the killer, the question is left unanswered in the film. (00:15:45)

Answer: To try to throw them off the scent and add suspicion to make us think maybe possibly they're the killer(s).

This answer is literally part of the question. The question mentions that this was done to make the character seem suspicious. The question was asking why, in the context of the film, can't Liv go to see Tara. Not why in a behind-the-scenes sense.

TedStixon

Answer: It's never explained in the film, so any answer would be pure speculation. As you said, it was obviously done to draw suspicion onto her by the filmmakers, but there's any number of reasons she might not be able to, so really it's a case of picking your poison. (Perhaps she had a previous appointment she couldn't miss, perhaps she has a family matter to attend to, etc).
