Max directed this scene, as well as being cameraman and decided to do a shot-reverse-shot camera angle to capture both angles of the two of them talking. In order to do this he had to position Luca and Tom in the right positions as well as making sure the extras that we had in the background of this scene. As well as directing the scene Max was cameraman and had to make sure the the focus was fully on Luca and Tom whilst the background, including the extras were blurred.
As a group we decided to choose this setting as it is presented like the outside of a coffee shop. Luca and Tom both had coffee cups with them to add to the setting. For Luca' shots we had to position him differently as when we did the first take, the background didn't fit in with the setting.
This shoot went well. As you say, it was important to frame the extras in the scene to make it look like a real coffee shop.
