Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Listening carefully to who's talking and what they're talking about allows the director to anticipate which camera will be needed to capture the action or reaction, and switch to it smoothly. Following a script or relying on the T.D. to switch without direction may not always capture the most important moments. Using only one camera on a long shot or using two cameras on long shots may not be relevant to keeping the right camera on the air.
