Demystifying Camera Placement in OpenGL: Understanding the Camera's Position in 3D Graphics

In this video I answer a few questions that I got from viewers on the camera tutorials.
Timecodes:
0:00 Intro
0:30 Question #1: does the camera have world coordinates or is it located at the origin?
6:48 Question #2: if the camera is in the world then how do we place it there?
7:49 Question #3: how do we set the camera to point to the positive or the negative Z axis?
10:10 Conclusion
