Viewers forgive imperfect framing much faster than they forgive harsh, thin, or noisy audio.
Audiences will stay with a slightly imperfect frame if the conversation is clear and easy to listen to. They rarely stay with distracting audio for long.
That is why room treatment, microphone placement, and gain staging usually matter more than adding another camera angle.
When the sonic foundation is strong, every other production decision becomes easier to appreciate.
