What are video production techniques?

These techniques are how the video was filmed, the skill applied and what the person has done to the camera.

Camera shots and angles

The camera shot is how the camera is positioned in regards to the subject, for instance a high angle short will be above a subject, but a tilt will either move up or down across a subject. Tracking shots directly relate to the position of the subject.

Sound

Non-diegetic and diegetic sound

Diegetic means you hear the same things as the character. This applies to all audio in the video. If the character either knows or hears what is said it is diegetic, if they never hear it is non diegetic. This is important because it can introduce tragic irony where you know what the main character does not .
