I am a new OC and am interested on any advise any existing OC or HC could give me on game planning and video evaluation. What type of things do you look for on film and for you r game plan? Are there any good books or videos out there on this topic?

Everyone has their own idea but my basic "game plan" involves.
Knowing their Base front Knowing when / where they like to bring pressure. Studs and Duds. Players we need to account for + ones we can take advantage of. Knowing what WE do well and can we do it vs their base and adjustments.
This will come from watching them in person, on tape, and comparing information from previous years. It's the basics, but then that's what we feel determines how well we will do.

Brian Billick's "Developing an Offensive Game Plan" is a useful book and worth the money.

For a newer High School OC I like what Fbdoc says.
Start with a simple system, get comfortable with that and then expand. Sometimes when we look at what the Bill Walsh's or Brian Billick's do, it can become overwhelming. They have more time on their hands to support their game ready sheets and obviously evolved to where they were when they wrote their books.
Make sure to do what Fbdoc says and also have an understanding of what you need to do on:
1st and 10 2nd and 3rd and shorts and longs coming out redzone when you are ahead hurry up
and practice these things. There are more scenarios but again, it can become overwhelming.
If you have time, do some self scouting of your own tendencies. I've tried to do this every week BUT I just don't have the time as I teach classes and try to have a little family time. So, I will self scout myself every 2nd or 3rd game. I have found some fairly profound tendencies and will then try to break them while staying within the context of my philosophies.
When things don't go well, find a way to make them go better but don't scrap the system. I've seen too many OC's change offenses at mid-season and this always backfires.
