How many shots do you see in this short film? Would you have filmed it? To me I see 9 shots --and they are an extreme side shot/establishing shot, over the shoulder mid shot of the 1st female, over the shoulder mid shot of the male, mid shot of the male, 2 shot wide shot for the male and 1st female, a mid close up of the 1st female --maybe over the shoulder, a mid close up of the male --maybe over the shoulder, an insert shot of the ring going on the 1st females finger, and a cutaway shot of the 2nd female. There may have also been a small shot of the male reading off a line or two before getting up and revealing the 2nd female behind him --so she can be seen in the background just as he gets up before her cutaway.
I would have filmed 6 entire takes of all of the dialogue for the 6 shots featuring it, and the insert, cutaway, and extreme wide shot/establishing shot separately. If they did a pickup as described, I would have shot that separately as well.
Here is the short film referenced:

Do you agree with my guesses? Disagree? If you agree, why? If not, why? Would you have filmed it the way I described? Differently? If so, why? If not, why not? Do you think they shot the pickup described? If so, why? There was no pickup? If not, why not?
