Default Totally incompetent camera operators this series

It really is outrageous how incompetent this camera crew is, it's almost like they home in on ONE person even if there are three or four conversing, then they switch on Auto mode and bugger off down the pub.
This is not once or twice, it is every vid they post.

I noticed this, but it's probably being done on the cheap..

It's odd that not once, but twice, there have been accidents in the house and the cameras completely missed them. Day after day we get boring footage of Jackie walking around in circles. The day she falls, it's not there (I'd even question if the footage of her walking circles was actually from a different day wearing the same workout gear). Same with Dan rolling down the stairs, we hear it, but don't see it.

They used to have someone sitting in a back room controlling which camera shot or angle should "go out" he/she was called the Director, but they seem to have dispensed with that position this year.

The worst was during the "beanie snatch" on Day 2. It was shown from so far away.

Dan falling down the stairs too.

I made a thread about this previously.

The camera work is shocking.

Cant even see the faces of the housemates talking sometimes just the back of a head or focused on someone else.
