I actually use Canon's 70D Video Creator Kit currently for my film/photography projects. I did go ahead and read the previous replies in the thread and I can tell you like a few seem to already have done that there is no such thing as a "best video settings" for any camera. I highly recommend reading the camera manual as a start and there are several YouTubers who have made videos for photography/video 101 or basic lessons on starting and some even do specific videos for each camera which I'm planning to do a crash course on it myself. Personally my most used resource for learning what I know was Tony Northrup he has a lot of educational videos where he talks about settings and basic knowledge.
My personal lens recommendation would either be the 55mm mentioned above which you have or an STM lens like the one that came with mine 18-135mm. Zoom lenses do have their downsides but I find them worth the overall convenience they provide me. The only true downside in my eyes to my lens of choice is that it doesn't have too wide an aperture which means I need far more light than you will with that 55mm if I want to keep my ISO at 100. If recording 24fps your shutter speed should be 50, 30fps would be 60, and 60fps would be 120 and ideally this will never change when doing video. The only settings you really have the Freedom with are Aperture and ISO which realistically you don't have much freedom with.. Too high an ISO gives you noise and all lenses have a sweet spot for the aperture that just performs beautifully. I try to avoid too narrow of an Aperture otherwise you get everything in focus and it will feel kinda like a go pro LOL.
The true settings freedom comes for photography where you get a lot more room to use different settings for different things. Anyway hope this information helps a bit
