I'd suggest that this is only actually going to work if we can lay the rooms out so that the no-film-area is not even visible from the camera positions, because otherwise it won't be long before both the camera operator and the director fail to remember, and film it anyway when someone nearby, or even an overenthusiastic non-filmable person asks a question. Not every room is going to make this a possible arrangement.
