This is a great video production technique to have in your skill set.
You can use this when you have talent talking direct to camera and is most effective when they are aligned on the left or right third of frame.
The 2 camera effect with 1 camera is a crop in on a section of the shot so that you are effectively changing up the frame from a mid shot to a close up. This can also be used to cover up mistakes and make the edit look very clean.
This can help with,
Viewer engagement as the shot is changing (instead of holding the same shot)
Cover up mistakes when the talent says something incorrect that they don't want in the video or has to pause in their presentation.
Caution!
Some cameras film with higher detail (resolution) than others so for the ones that aren't as detailed crop the shot in less. If you don't crop in enough the effect won't work and you end up with an unpleasant jump cut.
