At least use shots from different episodes, hell, use shots from different scenes.

Visual direction is for casuals. Visual direction is matter only if you can't tell the story.

Depends entirely on what I'm watching and what it's trying to do. I look out for it, but it matters more or less depending on how much is shown.

values are valuable, obviously. so i only ever put in 1 or 2 at a time. it's pretty simple when you think about it.
