Cinematography Teory and Practice, Image making for Cinematographers, Directors, and Videographers, by Blain Brown has pretty much been our Bible over the last year after it was recommended to us by Jamie Adiar a student from Northern Film School.
Brown discusses issues that you may face such as film-space, visual language to set operations including crew and on set procedures. One that we have seemed to of read countless times is cinematic continuity.
Brown discuses that continuity of movement and position is key when trying to create seamless cinema not leaving any gaps form one shot to the next so it is important to overlap the movement so that when it comes to the edit it will be easier for the editor to cut across multiple angles. As well as this in order to not disturb the eye of the view we must not change the 'screen direction' in other words 'cross the line' as this will distract them from the story or annoy or frustrate them.
