In the Cinematography Guide, shooting in 2 cameras or 2 angles of the same subject in a scene then each camera to be 30 degrees apart from the subject, and when using one camera with 2 angles, then the camera angle difference between 2 frames to be differed by 30 degrees (Eg. closeup, MId, wide angle)
If the camera moves less than 30 degrees, the transition between shots may look like a jump cut.
