I'm a working editor who watches way too much Youtube. Throughout my career, I've met many talented people looking for advice on making their work better.
What I always seem to refer back to are these videos. This list is ever-evolving and has quite a bit of overlap, but I think after watching these, you'll transform into a much better filmmaker.My suggestion is to watch the first few videos and start skipping as you find the information you've already learned.
This list has everything from overall story structure, lighting, blocking, and technical information about the job.I hope this helps you in some way and if you find a certain video helpful, check out the Youtube page. All of these creators are amazing at what they do.
