There isn't a lot here that we didn't cover, but this is a great opportunity to see it from another angle, or a good review of the principles. Here are some great videos that help to quickly explain important video concepts:

Framing and Shot Composition

Framing and Shot Composition in a Minute from Videopia - Says “hell” is that okay?

Rule of Thirds

The Rule of Thirds by Jayne Whitelock

Lighting

Three Point Lighting Basic by LifeNow Video - this one is a little bit dry, but it covers the topic nicely.

Photography Lighting Lesson - Remember the EGG by Joe Edelman Photography - This is a nice practical view of how different lighting affects your shot

Advanced Techniques

These next videos step a little beyond the very basic approach we've taken with the series, but are great explanations to take you to the next level.

White Balance by Jayne Whitelock - White balance is critical for getting realistic color in your shots.

Depth of Field DeMystified from Videopia - This is a complex topic, and at points a complex explanation, but Depth of Field is an important topic and I think you'll come away with a good understanding of it after seeing this.

The 180 Degree Rule from Vimeo - Viewers are quickly disoriented by bad camera changes. This will help you understand how to keep your cameras on the right viewing plane.
