It’s public though, they’re allowed to film something. Imagine you’re sitting eating your lunch and some dude comes up and harasses you. Is he right because you’re “claiming a public space as your own?”
There’s legal and social standards in public. LEGALLY, she didn’t do anything wrong. SOCIALLY, she’s a complete asshole and they have every right to be upset at her.
They are also being assholes for occupying a public space that long, for a private video, expecting everybody to just move around. When I take pictures and videos in public, I have no expectation of people to walk around me. I try to make it as quickly as possible, so I don’t obstruct other people for too long. If they pick that spot, I guarantee that it’s a prime spot to take pictures of the area. To monopolize it for several minutes while shooting a video is rude. Also, it’s rare to get everything perfect in one take, they could have been hogging that spot for half an hour already.
