Very few things change from regular shots to bunker shots. There are three basic variables to think about:

1) Degree of squareness of the clubface

2) How much sand you displace

3) Length and pace of swing

For a typical greenside bunker shot, the clubface should be slightly open, you should displace a fair amount of sand and you should take a full length, medium paced swing. For longer bunker shots, square the clubface a bit and take less sand; opposite extreme apply for very short bunker shots.
