2 Good Books for Directing and Setting up Shots

Here are two great books I discovered. They take you through individual shots and show an example of a film that uses that technique. Great to look at when building a shot list. I wouldn't derive all your shots from these books becuase that's where you're creativity comes in, however, they are defiantly a place to get started. Both show you ways to achieve things that look difficult yet in reality, are fairly easy to do.
