Film Crew Slang

Downstage- A director may use this term to tell an actor to move closer to the camera. Originally a theater term meaning the front of the stage closer to the audience.

Camera Left or Camera Right- More directorial verbiage for actor movement. It is movement from the perspective of the camera. Thereby if an actor is facing the camera and is told to move a little camera left, they move to their own right. Got it?
