How many cameras are desired when filming a conversation between two actors?

Also, when filming a fight scene, I know I need to make quick cuts to create a sense of action. However, when actually filming such a scene, do I use one camera and film the scene from different angles or use two cameras and do it all in one…then tweak it in Final Cut Pro?
It depends on what you have access to. If you have multiple cameras, people to operate them, then by all means go for that route.
Most film productions especially with a smaller budget, will use one camera, and film the scene from different angles. Hopefully your actors will be good enough to reproduce the same results each time they shoot from a different angle.

Always remember the rule of three.

It depends. If you want to get everything on one take, then multiple cameras; but if a camera will be in the shot, then you’ll have to use one camera with multiple takes.
