Camera Angles:

Close up shot

This is a close up shot. It allows the audience to see something or someone who is important to the plot. It also lets the audience understand the character's emotions through their facial expressions.

Mid shot

This is a medium shot. It is useful to show interaction between characters and can be used to give the audience some indication of the setting in the background.

Long shot

This is a long shot, it is usually used to show the audience the setting.

High angle shot

This is a high angle shot, which is used to give the audience a bigger picture than the characters. However, it can be used to make the audience feel in power and the character seem vulnerable.

Low angle shot

This is a low angle shot, which is usually used to show the audience that the character or object is imposing and powerful.

Over-the-shoulde shot

This is an over-the-shoulder shot. It is used to make the audience feel involved in the action or conversation. It also shows the facial expressions of the characters and can show the action from a character's perspective.

Continuity:

Making sure the film makes sense and that the shots and scenes follow so the audience understand what is happening. 

Cutting (Editing)

So the film is not in actual time. It also allows the director to change locations. Depending on how it is edited a scene can have pace to make it exciting or can be slowed down for dramatic emphasis.

A montage is when a lot of footage of different scenes are edited (cut) together.

Cross cutting is when two shots from past and present/future are mixed together to make it look like the events are happening at the same time.

Dissolve is when an image from one shot dissolves into the next shot.

Composition
Is the arrangement of props, setting and character in a shot.
