Question: Will it be a good idea to decide first where the camera is placed what
what is it looking at?

short answer:  IMHO  YES!

long answer:
 There are as many ways to start a scene. One might make a set like a movie
studio with
all the objects in place then move the camera and lighting around to get the
best view.
Me, I start with the subject and mood I want to convay. I usually have a rough
background
and not so rough subject object. Or visa versa. Then place the camera and lights
to get the
feel I want. Then comes the work of refining the subject and adding objects and
textures.
While refining the scene I'm not above changing the camera position or where it
looks a little
to better 'frame' the scene.
