Books on Film Making

[Dex]

Well I'm almost done with school and have decided to take up some extra curricular reading to help me with my final project (minimum 30 min film) as well as my career. I do everything besides act in my films. Directing, Writing, Cinematography, Editing & Producing. I've decided to start off with two books I've heard too much about to ignore.

- Save The Cat! The Last Book On Screenwriting You'll Ever Need - by Blake Snyder

- The Five C's of Cinematography: Motion Picture Filming Techniques - by Joseph V. Mascelli

Anyone have any others that come to mind?
