I recently bought a canon60D, a tripod, and 2 lenses and hope to make it as a writer/director. I have a few screen writing books that are helping me formulate script ideas so now I'm hoping someone here can suggest books (preferably in e-book format) that give a nuts and bolts look of how to take a script and put it on screen.
I understand there is no set in stone method to directing and that to copy the same tired formula out of a book is exactly why 99% of films nowadays are so cookie cutter and boring. However, I've never directed before and don't know where to start so I'm going to use the books I read as general guideline to jump off from not a step by step copy paste job. Also any books that specifically refer to using the canon60D or DSLR's in general to direct would be nice.
Thanks in advance.
