Another case of people projecting themselves onto something. It looks to me like she knew the camera was there and was hiding her face with a handbag. She was probably talking to the man who was walking in front of her, but the frame of the shot prevents verification of that.

The complete clip shows that he isn't reacting so it's unlikely that she's talking with him.

It's not even clear that she is talking to anyone. She could just be reacting to something.
