Much of the meaning of video, whether it be in film, television or on the Internet, is created by how the camera is used. Additionally, meaning is created by the way a video shot is composed and framed. Camera work is, essentially, an art.
When you combine camera shots with music, sound, lighting and editing, it is clear that filmmakers have
to make many decisions when telling the story.

Define what each term is in a one or two sentence definition and explain, where applicable, why it is used (the effect it can have).
