The text that I was taught from in my film education was called FILM ART:An
Introduction  by David Bordwell/Kristin Thompson.  I kept the book (second
edition) after graduating and still refer to it often.  Excellent for
tangible explanations of film theory and analysis and aspects of film alluded
to but rarely explained in the field!  Another excellent book is
CINEMATOGRAPHY by Kris Malkiewicz, but this is mostly technical (but
accesible!) guide to main areas of filmmaking.
Good luck with your search..
