Answer 1

You can use the camera Plugin for flutter by the Flutter team.

https://pub.dartlang.org/packages/camera

and then position your image and you cameraview in a Stack Widget like this:

return new Stack(
  alignment: FractionalOffset.center,
  children: <Widget>[
    new Positioned.fill(
      child: new AspectRatio(
          aspectRatio: controller.value.aspectRatio,
          child: new CameraPreview(controller)),
    ),
    new Positioned.fill(
      child: new Opacity(
        opacity: 0.3,
        child: new Image.network(
          'https://picsum.photos/3000/4000',
          fit: BoxFit.fill,
        ),
      ),
    ),
  ],
);

Please visit this repo. This example uses the camera plugin.

new AspectRatio(
  aspectRatio: controller.value.aspectRatio,
  child: Container(
    child: Stack(
      children: <Widget>[
        CameraPreview(controller),
        Align(
          alignment: Alignment.bottomCenter,
          child: Container(
            width: double.infinity,
            height: 120.0,
            padding: EdgeInsets.all(20.0),
            color: Color.fromRGBO(00, 00, 00, 0.7),
            child: Stack(
              children: <Widget>[
                Align(
                  alignment: Alignment.center,
                  child: Material(
                    color: Colors.transparent,
                    child: InkWell(
                      borderRadius: BorderRadius.all(Radius.circular(50.0)),
                      onTap: () {
                        _captureImage();
                      },

                        if (!_toggleCamera) {
                          onCameraSelected(widget.cameras[1]);
                          setState(() {
                            _toggleCamera = true;
                          });
                        } else {
                          onCameraSelected(widget.cameras[0]);
                          setState(() {
                            _toggleCamera = false;
                          });
                        }
                      },
                      child: Container(

You can also now use this plugin : CamerAwesome

Official plugin has a ratio bug that makes overlay having bad ratio. This plugin includes flash, zoom, auto focus... and no initialisation required.
