Evidence of a 'story' ??

Well not a "story" actually, but i believe that the lady with the hat and the white dress ( Harriet? ) really REACTS towards the man passing infront of her. In the first 1-2 frames she seems to be looking at him and as he passes by her she turns away.

Was this "Scripted" to happen? I suppose we will never know.

I think he just wanted to test if his invention worked so he told them to move a lot in front of the camera. It was most likely improvised.
