Cinematography book and the raven

After purchasing what I was assured was one of the best cinematography books I've started from the beginning and started to realise that to a greater extent the complexity of it. Although even in this early stage I feel it will prove useful as I've already read some stuff that has given me a greater idea of lenses and focal length which is the section I'm currently reading after reading the film camera section which included how to look after a Camera in between loading films. Although this isn't massively necessary seeing as I will be filming on digital however it was still useful to know.
On top of that I also downloaded a film called the raven based on the poem as I felt it could be helpful for inspiring sole more ideas for the version of the raven in working on. I will post my thoughts on it after I've watched it.
