best camcorder documentary filmmaking image
Isabella
I'm about to take my final year of media and we're required to make a film. Though the school supplies us with camcorders, they're pretty mediocre and I'm planning on making a documentary that I not only want to have as my final piece, but something that I can really show off. I've been thinking about buying a DSLR camera for filming but I don't know where to start. My maximum spending would be 650 or 700, and I'm looking for a decent camera that preferably won't need an audio extension. My piece will be a documentary, so the type of filming may vary so this needs to be an all round camera

I start my own film company using my PC?
Perfect
I would like to start a filming but I don´t have any support from anyone or experience except of my computer. What software program or cheap technical equitment is good for me? I also need to be able to make changes in a film or documentary I would make.
What I understand is that the very easy tools would make a professional film since computers help us with so much.
I would make my day if you can give advice and guide my so that I can become a female film creater for a living very soon. I don´t have a film kamera but would risk buying one of course. If you don´t know how to help me maybe you know a place online where I can get started:)
Answer
You don't need a film camera to start a filmmaking career. Get a really good miniDV camcorder with a firewire port. Make sure that your computer also has a firewire port so that you can connect the two.
Some good editing programs are Final Cut Pro (if you have a mac computer). This is probably the best bang for your buck. It's about $1000, and can produce amazing results. The down side is that you need a $2000 mac to run it.
For PC, you can check out Adobe Premiere. It's also a great program, and it will cost you less (I think it's around $600).
Check out the movie "DREAMER: The Movie". It was produced using a miniDV camcorder and a home computer to edit, and it played in US theaters, and won some film festivals. I think you can get it at www.filmbaby.com, but just do a Yahoo search, and you should be able to find it.
GOOD LUCK!
