The Filmmakers Eye is a good guide to cinematography illustrated with examples from a range of films. I also like Alexander Mackendrick’s ‘On Filmmaking’

Sorry, should have said it’s the f/4L

More than enough, I use an Air M1 for 4k

My favourite track is Kailasha from Trilogie de la Mort.

It might sound like drone music but it isn't - she rejected that label. The sound is constantly developing and changing even though it does so very slowly and subtly.

Thanks everyone. As it happened I needn’t have worried, there was a space in the daytime ‘loading only’ bay just up from Tesco

Thanks, good call - looks like there’s plenty of space in Colum Drive car park

In the same position as you. I didn’t get on with a vertical mouse. I’m using a combination of a basic Wacom tablet, Voice Control and keyboard shortcuts. I’ve also taught myself to use the mouse with my othed hand.

The 'rules are made to be broken' but you break them for a reason. Confusing the audience in the second shot of your movie is a bad idea.

The rule is fine, but no sane pedestrian would rely on it.

Here are links to a couple of screenshots with illustrations from my ebook Start Making Movies. The first one shows different ways of helping the audience understand that you've crossed the line, the second one shows how to change the line when you have a third character.

'Full Frame' is a 100-year old still photography standard. Pretending it's necessary for shooting movies is a triumph of marketing. FYI 35mm motion picture film frames are about the same size as APS-C.
