As I understand it, this song's about a "snuff film", which is a video of an actual murder recorded for either the murderer or other people's entertainment.
In this song, it's clear that he's killing some woman, and he's telling her to "smile for the camera" because he's making a video of her murder. The title of the song, I'm assuming, refers to the duct tape he's placed over her mouth to muffle her screams of pain.
Also, the line "grainy and unsteady" refers to the typically amateur quality of snuff films.
