The red lines on the lens of the camera is the aperture, the light travels through and hits the pink line, which is the mirror. The light shines onto the mirror and bounces onto another mirror then into your eye to show you the image you are taking (This is the dark blue section in the picture diagram above). The purple line on the right is the shutter. The green line on the right side is the sensor/film which captures the image you are taking.
The most basic information about shutter speed is that shutter speed is the amount of time that the shutter is open. Shutter speed is measured in seconds and in most cases you'll probably be using shutter speeds of 1/60th of a second or faster because anything below that would be difficult to use without getting a blurred image. If you do decide to use anything slower you would either need a tripod or some type of image stabilizer (more cameras have got an image stabilizer built in).
Depth of field is a portrait or close-up still photograph might use a small DOF (depth of field) to isolate the subject from a distracting background. The use of limited DOF to emphasize one part of an image is known as selective focus, differential focus or shallow focus.
In very basic terms, ISO is the level of sensitivity of your camera to available light. The lower the ISO number, the less sensitive it is to the light, while a higher ISO number increases the sensitivity of your ISO.

There are many differences between a film and digital camera, the first one (and the most obvious) is in the film camera, there is a piece of film inside the back of the camera which captures the image and the shape of the image with help from the light. You would have to keep pulling back a small lever which moves the film so you can take another photo and on most film cameras they haven't got auto-focus, as a beginner I thought it was a bit difficult to focus manually. To get the best results with a film camera you would need to find a light space so you can observe your photos better.
With a digital camera you have a choice between auto-focus and manual focus which makes this easier, with auto-focus you can just point your camera at something you want to take a picture, half-press the shutter to focus and then take the picture, sorted. The camera automatically takes in the picture with focus onto a memory card so you can upload the photo anywhere.

Key Lighting: The key light is the dominant light in the scene. It sets the mood, provides direction, shows dimension and texture, and creates the darkest shadows.

Silhouette - In photography, a silhouette is defined as an outline that appears dark against a light background. More specifically, it is where your subject is seen as a black shape without detail against a brighter background.
