Camera Angles In A Spec Script

[nq:1]I'm getting some conflicting advice here. If you're guy is out in open, running around in limited area, but doing ... the spec script, or just have the guy do what he's going to do and follow him around in narrative?[/nq]
Leave the camera directions out of a spec.
For format, get hold of The Screenwriters Bible by David Trottier.

For content read a lot of good scripts to see

There are lots of examples. Get them from Drew's Script-o-rama (avoid the transcripts) or www.simplyscripts.com (which has many unproduced scripts which are not necessarily well formatted).
