This cut, unlike the first one, is made out of only 5 shots, and could've been done in only 4 shots. I was aiming at simplicity here, and decided to stay on two shots of both actors as long as I could so that the audience could observe the actors' interaction uninterrupted by cuts. I started with a tighter shot, which focused our attention more on the female lead's emotions, and I cut to a wider shot when we had to see the geography of the blocking, e.g., where the actors go in the space, then came in tight again on both. This is an intimate scene, and in general, these types of scenes require closer shots to maintain that intimacy.
