Does anyone know if there is a book that shows great shots in film, with lots of photos from various movies? I think this would be a great resource to have ... if it exists.

OR...
Anything similar?

OR...
If not, what are good resources on framing, etc.

Thanks,
Lanz
 
I just bought a book kind of like that that I cinematographer I met recommended. These books are incredibly boring, unfortunately. When I get home I'll see if I can post a link.
 
I've not got too far into it, but I just got Film Directing, Shot by Shot. written by Steven Katz. There are lots and lots of pictures and diagrams and visual "here's how". Seems like a great read.
 
The Five C's of Cinematography by Joseph V. Mascelli
1998 reprint from 1965, trade paperback size

Very detailed book on classic rules of cinematography. Pictures are dated and funny, but is a great book regardless.

This is considered one of the top 5 books to own on the subject.
