Answer
A camera is simply made of a lens and a light-tight box to hold the film with a shutter in-between.  The shutter opens and lets light thru to strike the film for a fraction of a second to make an exposure then closes.  

This is not the right place to get a detailed answer to this question as it would take too long.  For a detailed answer I suggest you go to howstuffworks.com.
