CINEFIX on youtube
I learned a lot from two series' of short documentaries that cinefix released, these where Film School'd, and Art of the Scene, they both focus on different aspects of film production, and are well worth the watch time, each episode is between ten and twenty minutes long and they provide an excelent resource for information and techniques used in cinema, they also sometimes go into the history of why certain tropes/conventions exist, and why certain shooting methods where used where.

The film theorists, on youtube
The film theorists are a chennel I watch regularly, mostly they break down films and talk about fan theories, however they have a series called Frame By Frame, which goes into detail about interesting techniques, a particular episode, titled The Screen Writing Mind Tricks of STAR WARS discusses the use of the parenthetical "(BEAT)" and how its used in the Empire strikes back, discussing it by using a very well known, and poignant example. honestly I wouldn't have known the proper use of BEAT without it, and the series is a must watch if your interested in learning interesting things about film.

I also used several script writing resources, these are basically how to guides that i visited when I was unsure of how to format a particular part of my script. most of my knowledge of screenwriting comes from previous experience in my last course.
