Get this book: The Guerilla Film Makers Handbook which shows you everything you need to know from scripts to lawyers. techincal knowhow for lighting and cameras. I found this extremely useful. When it comes to lighting techniques, many still photography books have much to offer also, keep reasearching and keep watching movies and pay attention to the images, the angles, the light sources and the tones, colour, light, shadows, movement, character placement etc... THe best movies are low budget movies and movies from the 60's and 70's (new wave cinema) as these filmmakers were the first bunch to break from the studio system. Watch a lot of European cinema also
With most lighting techniques, i find that experimenting is the best. Try to get hold of some theatre lamps (make sure you are safe however) but there are many on ebay. Apart from that, improvise with daylight, use deflectors for balancing your key light and try not to light from above all the time like i see in most student films. they rely on ceiling lamps for fill lighting and that makes everything they do look like its done in a supermarket or an operating theatre.
Remember to light any visible rooms behind as well. the scene is EVERYTHING in the frame. think of the mood and emotion of the characters or the scene an go from there. You have to put the work in to make it worth while. Don't just setup, place actors and shoot. good luck

Film it outside and use silvered paper to fill in shadows, just like the pros.
