Indeed.  It does not mean that you will not move the camera anymore (this is
an advantage). I think that in the beginning, a scene is pretty much like a
drawing. If you take a seat and start drawing a landscape, you'll lose your
perspective if you move.  There are things that you know are there, but
cannot be seen (unless you move the camera and change you point of view) and
therefore, can't be depicted.

I started to write some notes in that regard. Maybe the first three pages
are of interest to you:

And also, a few basic concepts about composition:
