shot type inventory

hey guys, is anyone here aware of any online resource that lists every type of shot and/or camera movement common in filmmaking (shot/reverse shot, two-shot, whip-pan, dutch angle, etc)? I would really like to read some literature on composition theory (if that's a thing) as well. Suggestions?
 
I haven't found a resource that covers everything, though...

The ones that I use:

Hollywood Camera Work: Master Course (Video course)
Master Shots (Volume 1, 2, 3) - Books

Composition theory, try The 5 C's of Cinematography.
 
The visual story.
Great book, not just about composition, but about all elements on the screen: light/dark, color, open space/closed space, illusion of depth, use of lines in composition and most of all: all elements add contrast or affinity to the shot.
Very interesting book.
