Directing Television and Film

I teach a university level TV production course. Even though this book has been out of print for years, It's the one I use for my class. Armer's writing is easy to read and understand. The book contains many 'sidebars' by other noted producers and directors that reinforce the body of text. It's simply the most complete text I've found for teaching about studio production.

Everything you need to begin directing

I got this book because I couldn't find the one I was looking for, but I'm glad I found this. It had everything I was trying to learn about and more. The book goes into detail about the basics of filmmaking, how to set up the cameras and actors with great detail of how to "frame" a shot according to principals of art (Golden Mean, balence, repetition etc.) and how it relates to screen.Look no further. This is THE one book you need to get you started.
