Overall,
- Think about your technique. Analyzing the work you like will help you to improve your skills.
Of course, if you want to make films, you'll need to learn such as framing, lighting, working with actors, editing, color correction/grading.
All of them are listed here, but books written by experienced directors are your best friends.

- Get yourself a camera. For simple narrative work, DSLR, such as a Canon T2i or T3i, and some good lenses. Still, you can get decent results even using your phone. No need to get the top equipment if you're just a beginner. You can always improve video quality using an editor.
Something like Abobe or Movavi would work just fine.

- From my experience, the one thing beginners underestimate is the sound. It won't matter how good your film looks, bad sound can scream "amateur!", so invest in some good audio equipment too.
- Ask for a feedback. From your colleagues/clients/teachers/watchers. It will help you to work on your weak spots and improve your skills.
