Yes it matters a lot because it conveys stuff that you don't want to be said out loud or cannot be conveyed by dialogue. Probably half the reason why Kojima games are so popular as they're one of the few who have actual cinema tier cinematography.
I'll tell you what. You REALLY NOTICE BAD CINEMATOGRAPHY.
WHEN I'M WATCHING PORN AND THE CAMERA OPERATOR IS CLINICALLY RETARDED I SUPER NOTICE THAT! LIKE HOLY SHIT JUST POINT THE CAMERA AT THE GIRL AND HOLD IT STILL YOU STUPID MONKEY HOLY FUCKING CHRIST.

It goes a long way in making a game's story more interesting to sit through. I recently played through Deliver At All Costs and it actually made solid use of the camera, even though the animations suck and the voicework is lackluster I wasn't bored
