2007-06-28 Don't bother with this book.

I hate to be too negative about something, but I bought this book expecting to find out about how to plan my shots to tell a greater visual story. What you get from this book is just a list of many types of shots.

I then found and ordered 'Cinematic Storytelling: The 100 Most Powerful Film Conventions Every Filmmaker' which was EXACTLY the book I was after. Which works for beginners and more experienced filmakers alike.
My opinion is whatever your level, you're far better off with Cinematic Storytelling.
Put your money towards that one.
