Opening sequence analysis 4 - Pleasantville

The opening sequence to Pleasantville begins with a few widescreen establishing shots , of many teenagers at a high school. The reason that I assume it is a high school is because there are many teenagers and they are all wearing backpacks. There is also a school bus which confirms the idea that it is a high school.

There is clever camera work and editing used, to cut between two close ups of the two characters, which makes it appear as if they are having a conversation, but soon after at the end of the sequence after the boy character has had a full conversation with what appears to be the girl whose close up is used, but in fact he is just talking to himself, which is revealed when the bell rings and a wide shot is showcased of him standing at least 20m away from the girl who he was supposedly having the conversation with.
