Yes — though they’re often framed as film analysis, editing, sound design, or cinematography rather than “filmmaking education” with those three words together. Good places to study color, sound, and pacing include:

Film education / analysis sites

  • No Film School — practical articles on editing, sound, color grading, and scene rhythm.
  • StudioBinder blog — strong breakdowns of pacing, shot design, sound, and color language.
  • Frame.io Insider — especially good for post-production, editing rhythm, and color workflows.
  • PremiumBeat blog — sound design, music use, and pacing in film/video.
  • B&H Explora — tutorials and essays on color, lighting, editing, and audio.
  • IndieWire / Filmmaker Magazine — interviews and craft articles that often discuss tone, color palettes, and editing choices.

More academic / deep-study options

  • Fandor essays / film analysis sites — good for studying how color and sound shape meaning.
  • MUBI Notebook — excellent for close film analysis of style, pacing, and atmosphere.
  • The Art of the Title — great for studying pacing, music, typography, and visual rhythm in title sequences.
  • The Criterion Collection essays and supplements — strong for formal analysis of color, sound, and editing.

If you want structured courses

  • MZed — professional filmmaking courses including editing, color grading, and sound.
  • MasterClass — less technical, but some classes touch on pacing and style.
  • LinkedIn Learning / Udemy / Skillshare — searchable courses specifically on color grading, sound design, and editing rhythm.

Best keywords to look for

If you want sites that really help you study these elements, search for:

  • color theory in film
  • sound design analysis
  • editing pace / rhythm
  • film form
  • mise-en-scène
  • audiovisual analysis

If you want, I can also give you a curated list of the best sites specifically for each topic: color, sound, and pacing.
