Cinematography Material

[Top5ive]

Sup everyone...wondering if any one knew of any good material to pick up on cinematography techniques, industry standard, etc. I'm looking for a good recommended book, online course (inexpensive under $200), online site or particular videos, training programs with documentation and DVDs, etc. Looking to polish my skills. Oh yea, I'm kinda new around here...The names John or Top5ive

This is a great list - if you want to use cinematography to tell stories, I would add these books for the budding independent filmmaker:

The Filmmaker's Eye: Learning (and Breaking) the Rules of Cinematic Composition

Cinematic Storytelling: The 100 Most Powerful Film Conventions Every Filmmaker Must Know

Rebel without a Crew: Or How a 23-Year-Old Filmmaker With $7,000 Became a Hollywood Player

Make Your Own Damn Movie!: Secrets of a Renegade Director

Good luck!
