This is a bit off-topic, but wiltw is right about the view camera movements. In general terms, changing the position of the rear standard changes perspective (for ex, leveling the rear standard to eliminate converging verticals). Changing the position of the front standard changes the plane of focus (tilts/swings), or the angle of view included in the frame (rises/shifts).
On a non-view camera with fixed lens and film planes, you can use camera placement and cropping to simulate the effect of rises and shifts.
