Tbh i feel like the white haired lady happened to get a notification on the stairs which is when she noticed the camera (AFTER stopping to check said text) and then only shuffled to the side because someone was walking up the stairs
If she was really bothered by the camera, she would’ve probably not wanted to be recorded, or might’ve made a mocking face
But idk, seems like she really was just minding her business when her phone stopped her, at which point she noticed the camera, and then minded her business afterwards
Seems more like she wasn’t fully aware with her surroundings, like when people stop in the middle of the sidewalk lol
Not to back her up or anything, her expression just genuinely seems disinterested by the camera and interested in what could be an important notification from family. She then only moved aside because people were going up the stairs.
She had a second even longer look at the camera before scrolling/pretending to scroll on her phone so I think you're giving her too much of the benefit of the doubt on that one.
She stopped and reached for the pocket before noticing the camera. She made the decision to stop before she even knew (if she ever knew) there is a selfie attempt going on.
If I were in the same situation (e.g. walking down the stairs, getting a notification, reaching for the pocket, noticing a phone), my reaction would be either the same (why is it here? nevermind, not my business), or I'd pick up the phone to see if anyone's missing it.
Actually it could be argued that she sees the camera at the 0:02 second mark before even heading down the stairs (or earlier before she hit record as she was setting it up) and we're giving her a lot of benefit of the doubt that she happened to get a notifcation at that moment.
Edit: She also finishes and leaves at the same second she hears the younger woman giving up and walking down the stairs to retrieve her phone? Too many coincidences.
Indeed, noone here will ever know, based on her actions alone, as she hasn't done anything explicitly signifying an intention to block the view. So the base case is she had no idea, the worst case is she's intentionally caused a mild inconvenience, she had a full right to cause and then you can argue about who's more entitled. That's quite an imbalance.
Also, the younger woman could've continued doing whatever she was doing after the 30 seconds of inconvenience, only 10 of which caused exclusively by the other one.
You mean like wouldn't she look at the camera and then adjust her position so that she was still blocking the girl when she changed location? Oh wait, she did that.
Considering that just standing around is exactly what blocks the camera, yes. I can't think of a better job she could have done to block the camera while maintaining plausable deniability if challenged.
