Look to your script for direction. That should give you an idea of the shot you want/need. Then you can pick the lens that gives you the best result for that purpose.

like dr.benway says or if you want longer get a 100mm f2 or 135mm or 70-200mm 2.8

From what I've learned you should first try to think of a particular mood, image or idea that I want to convey and whether it can be enhanced by any specific look. In the case of a lens, that's probably one of the quickest and easiest things to change. In most cases, I leave it at standard but know a lens can do a lot to affect the mood of a shot.
