Close up
A close up is when the camera shot is of an object up close (usually of a face).
I think this technique was used in the film to express the true emotions of the character's faces.
In the scene where Tess finds Charlie with Sam in the woods, a close up technique is used after Charlie had told her to leave. It shows the true feelings of anger in his face.

180 degree rule
The 180 degree rule is when the camera is filming two characters speaking to each other, the camera must stay on the 180 degree angle for it to appear as if they are having a conversation. If this rule is not applied it will appear as if the two characters are facing the same way and you don't get the impression they are talking to one another.

Over the shoulder shot
An over the shoulder shot is when the camera views a character or object over the shoulder of another character.
I think this technique was used in the movie to show when characters are communicating and who they are communicating to.
In the scene where Charlie is talking to sully in the cemetery this shot is used to show they are speaking to one another.

Shaky Camera
The shaky camera technique is when a handheld camera is used for filming with motion.
I think this technique was used in the film to show the motion of the boat on the water.
In the scene where Charlie takes Tess on his new boat and they have their first kiss together as a live couple, the shaky camera technique is used to show the movement of the boat and the waves.

Cut
A cut is when a shot is replaced by another shot in the same scene.
I think this technique is used in the film as a transition technique as it is simple and not eye-catching, also a sign of good editing.
In the scene where Charlie and Sam are pitching to one another the use of transition plays a large scale role. The scene starts as a shot of Charlie, then cuts to a shot of Sam pitching and then cuts back to Charlie as the ball hits him. The cut technique is used here to show the two playing baseball with each other.
