Camera Angle with New Setup (Patreon)

We will be upgrading the studio in the very near future. The folks at Valencia Theater Seating were kind enough to send a pair of movie theater recliners for us to try out ( https://us.valenciatheaterseating.com/products/valencia-tuscany ), while the folks at Maono sent us two brand new (not yet on the market) microphones. They are to be set up in front, as opposed to overhead. This will allow for much better noise reduction (cars outside, Happy's barking, etc). We also purchased a new camera and are hoping to be able to afford to replace the other camera as well soon.

It is our opinion that a side angle is best for reactions, because humans are hardwired to better perceive facial expressions slightly from the side, but with the way the theater seats are built, it may be more difficult to focus the camera properly this way.

Our backup plan is to use the Camera 1 position for the main portion of the reaction and position the movie in the middle, on the bottom, and use Camera 2 just for cut-aways and for zooming in on faces. An advantage to this setup is that the person on the left will not be blocked by the movie in YouTube versions of the reactions.

We would like your opinions on the setup.
