Sounds like you need a few things:
Previz materials like shotlists, overhead diagrams, and storyboards are often used in combination to work out the visuals. I find that overheads are most useful for figuring out the most efficient way to shoot as they map out the position of camera on the set in a bird's eye view. (Read Sidney Lumet's MAKING MOVIES -- a must read anyhow -- where he discusses shooting TWELVE ANGRY MEN in a very efficient manner by "shooting a wall out".)
Lined scripts -- not the ones a script supervisor does on set -- are useful for plotting out coverage so you can see what options you're setting up for your editor.
If you're a real newbie, I highly recommend [VOICE & VISION] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/0240807731/ref=tmm_pap_new_olp_sr?ie=UTF8&condition=new)
It's the text I use to teach my film production courses. A bit dry at times, but it succinctly covers every phase of production. What I like about it is the focus on telling good stories. Each chapter, however technical, always comes back to the point of storytelling with solid examples from a huge variety of films.
