Great tips, the camera tip is new to me, and a great tip. I agree, that reading modules is important. I’d also recommend a tip from James raggi in his referees guide: if the modules are good one, to run it as is, as much as possible. That way a dm can internalize a different style, and also surprise players.
I think sometimes hewing close to the material is important - as you have said elsewhere, there is a quality that comes out in play that is otherwise lost just in a reading.
