This is a stance issue more than a resolution granularity issue. I sometimes think of “are we pretending that we’re writers or are we pretending that we’re characters?” as two different modes of play. That you sometimes (or maybe always) switch in and out of, as all writers sometimes inhabit their characters, although not necessarily vice versa.
I’ve deliberately tried to steer away from “camera”, “cut” langauge for the most part, to encourage first-person play. And no game board or minis, and inist on saying “I do such-and-such” instead of “[character name] does such-and-such]”. Although the latter is tempting when the same player has ten characters in a situation.
