Funny, I usually rat-hole into the Cinefix YouTube channel when I am interested in looking at the mechanical aspect of making movies.

They do lists. "5 best uses of color in movies", or "10 bit parts that stole the film", or "5 camera effects to add drama", or whatever. Then they show you a scene, narrate over it and explain whatever thing they are explaining, and then jump to the next scene.

It's fluffy, and you can debate their choices, but I find it gets me thinking about the topic of their list, and then I think of other examples of that in film.

It gives me a jumping-off point to begin thinking about some specific aspect of filmmaking. And they are fun.
