I was wondering does anyone know if there is a specific class or even helpful guides to learn more about Blenders Lighting features as well as more about Cinematography. If you know any YouTube Videos or any classes on here can anyone let me know?
Yes, there are two whole Fundamentals of Lighting in Blender courses:
The newer one with Blender 4.2:

And the other one also full of lighting knowledge:

There is also a Fundamentals of directing the Camera:
https://cgcookie.com/courses/directing-the-camera-in-blender
And really any of the courses go through the artistic choices we make when doing appealing images. So there's stuff to learn everywhere.
The three courses that Omar suggested are perfect! The new lighting course on the Core bundle is a great place to start.
Not blender specific but if you're looking for more general information regarding cinematography from a film (non-3D) standpoint, you can check out the StudioBinder channel on YouTube. Lots of great info on there, but again, nothing to do with blender specifically.
Happy Blending!
