1) The document discusses different types of camera shots and movements used in filmmaking including establishing shots, close-ups, point of view shots, two shots, and shot reverse shots. 2) Camera movements like pans, tilts, dolly shots, and hand-held shots are used to follow or scan a scene. High and low camera angles create different emotional perspectives. 3) Zooming and reverse zooming with the camera allows movement closer or further without physically repositioning, and can imply surveillance or changing perspectives.
