The document discusses various camera terms and their connotations, including ISO which controls light sensitivity, focus which builds composition between foreground and background objects, zoom which emphasizes particular objects, wide angle shots which fit many subjects in one frame without focus on any one, low angle shots which make subjects seem larger and superior, the rule of thirds compositional technique, canted angles which create obscurity, tension or unease, and camera pans which follow subjects or pan across scenes.
