From the Paper:

"The next scene spins in showing dancers with the mountains visible out the windows but only lit by the lights of the slopes. We identify the couple as they dance by the camera and the next scene spins in showing a 45 degree angle shot of the couple at a table is a nice restaurant with a different view out the window. The lighting is romantically low and warm, but not dark. The story action can be continued here, as the camera moves to full frontal table shot and then dollies in until we have full frontal couple shot. The camera angles alternate between full frontal couple, and individual head and shoulder shots as they talk while drinking wine and sampling hors d'ouvres. They are seated almost as closely as the airline seats enforces. Outside the large windows it is dusk and we see a cityscape of Paris."
