100 Ideas That Changed Film By David Parkinson
The best thing about this book for me is that there are so many techniques we see today that we are so used to, and we don't realise that it at one point had the possibility of jeopardising the film industry, even for good in some cases. This book not only gives you a brief history of techniques, movements and ideologies that are commonly used to but also how the industry has managed to adapt and mould what may have been a possible threat to their advantage.
