Hi. Professional videographer here.
Firstly, I'll say that nowadays, a lot of people think making a video/video editing is easy and that they can do it. In my experience, this isn't true. You don't seem to be one of those people, however, or else you wouldn't have posted here asking for help. That's the first indication that you're doing the right thing.
One of the best resources I can think of off of the top of my head is Film Riot. There are others like Rocket Jump that are also incredibly useful. Look them up on YouTube. A lot of them go into the actual filming process of making a video, which from your post, you might not seem interested in, but they still have good videos on editing.
The best piece of advice I could probably give you is this: just watch movies and videos. More than that, though, pay attention to them. Look at the details, notice when they do certain things and when they don't. When does the music swell? When do they cut? What works, what doesn't? At what points do you feel inspired by a video/movie, and then try to figure out why.
There's a bit of a learning curve to this, and while some people just have a raw talent for this sort of thing, it still needs to be trained and refined. Don't be discouraged if your first couple of videos don't turn out the way you thought they would, or if you don't get great feedback for them. Keep at it, learn from your mistakes, and always be trying to create something. I always learn best when I just get to it and figure out what I did wrong later.
Anyways, essay over. Let me know if you have anymore questions.
