There are 3 different cameras mounted on each SRB. What Nasa puts out is a edited version of all three together.

The boosters do NOT splash down horizontally. They go in like a pencil with a napkin stapled to it (basically what they are). The nozzle is ejected before splash down and the business end hits first. Start watching at 6:30 to see the parachutes float to the side as the booster sinks into the water and settles on its side. Then they float oriented vertically in the water until the retrieval team gets there to tow them back to Cape Canaveral.

Also, the camera does change. When you see the parachutes opening up, the camera is oriented vertically upwards. During flight and separation, the camera is oriented horizontally and looking parallel to the ground.

No. The intertank is in fact that corrugated surface on the external tank that the camera is facing. From this angle it just happens to also be between the tank and booster. The intertank is basically the connection between the liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen tanks. It also hides some structural members, electronics, and so on. Please feel free to wikipedia it if you have any doubts/further questions.

I believe mostly it's just un-burned fuel from the booster (it's solid, looks and feels like a pencil eraser) but it may also have some packing materials (bags, etc.) from the parachutes mixed in there too. Not 100% positive so look it up before you quote me on that.

coolest stuff I've seen in a long long time bro.
the sound is what really makes it too. the eerie creaks & moans in this giant metallic hull freefalling thru the outer reaches of the atmosphere - the twilight zone

This is so beautiful. One of the most wonderful films I've ever seen.
