On the first shots Mcgonagall is walking through the corridors. A master shots which is a long shot of all the character is taken which gave the impression of a hectic situation where everybody seems to be in a hurry.

This conversation is far more important because it talks about the main issues of the scene, which is Voldermort attack.
