Ok so i am making a Movie. Well a Independent movie. I am on a low budget. So what is the best possible camcorder to use to shoot this movie. It has to be in HD. And im shooting kinda like a documentary but it is a horror movie and it is shot a lot in the dark. So what is the best for this. And what is the best speacial effects software. I am on a low budget though.

im in high school and i like to make shorts for competitions and etc at school. I use Windows Movie Maker but its very awkward some times and im limited to what i can do. And im looking for a decent camera too because mine is a bit outdated. I guess HD would be nice but whatever looks good
I have a budget of like 1000$
I was thinking of Final Cut Studio or Adobe Premiere Elements

I an currently writing a script for a fan film based on The Crow. I cannot seem to find a low budget camcorder with good software and low light capability. Most of the film will be shot at night and I want a good clear picture in low light and it has to work with windows movie maker!
I’d appreciate any suggestions cause I can’t find anything in my price range.

I am thinking of writing, filming and editing an hour long (or maybe less) movie for a school personal project (Year 10/Sophomore Year), but I am not sure what equipment to use. I guess for editing software it is best that I use Sony Vegas or something, but the problem I am encountering is what camera to use. I have a fairly limited budget, so I doubt I would be able to use a professional camera, but I don’t want to be using a cheap camcorder as that would seem like a home movie, and I want it to at least look professional. I think it would be easiest if I used a camera that recorded on a Hard drive, so can anybody recommend a good camcorder for this project or if there are inexpensive film cameras available?

I am an 18 year old college student interested in filming. Not so much in doing it professionally but still wish to film.
Ever since I was 10 yrs of age I would use my old and cheap video camera and record small little stories with my friends. I would film scenes in order and if editing was needed, i would simply connect the video camera to my vcr and go from there.
I’m here asking you on what I need to get started to film in a better manner. I’m interested in purchasing a MACBOOK with iLife 06′ since it has the movie and dvd editing software and its simplicity to use. Final Cut Pro is great but too expensive for me and I would like to start of with iLife.
So I know I need that, and obviously a Mini DVcamera, correct? If so, which one? I’m interested in the HD quality and feel I need a great microphone; I dont want bad sound.
Bear in mind, as a college student I dont have a huge budget. My filming will consist mostly of filming a small series of episodes with friends.
Thanks!

I use windows vista, and have no background knowledge of digital camcorders or editing software. Shop assistants have recommended the Canon FS200 SD, and Magix Movie Edit Pro, but I am doubtful about them – the Magix software seems a bit basic, and I have read reviews that the camcorder is ‘too shaky’, has ‘bad picture quality’ and is ‘incompatible with most editing software. Does anyone have any advice?

Neu zum Schießenvideo mit einem dslr. Schauen, zum dieses " zu verursachen; film" schauen Sie und morgens, das wirklich an Farbenkorrektur interessiert wird. I' VE gesehen welchem roten giant' s-magische Gewehrkugel kann tun und morgens, das an der Software sehr interessiert ist. Jedoch sein recht pricy und Verlangen auf dem Computer. I' m auf einem Etat und betrachtete Vegas-Film-Studio-Platin-Prosatz als gute Wahl, um mit zu beginnen (unter $100). Paarfragen; wurde diese magische Gewehrkugel des Software Support? Würde magische Gewehrkugel notwendig sein (Vegaspro erwähnt ihm hat Farbenkorrektur)? Würde ich mehr ein wenig von speichern und von der Investierung in Adobe AE oder eine bessere Version von Vegas besser sein? Was die beste Einstellung ist, zum von hdslr Filmen zu redigieren, um dieses " zu erhalten; film" schauen Sie? Jede mögliche Hilfe würde geschätzt. Danke

My budget is about $600 canadian dollars, no more.
I am looking for a camera that can make videos, if it comes with a decent video editing software that would help a lot since I have to buy one anyways. I dont really care if its touch screen or if its battery doesnt last long (1hr + atleast though)
Thanks

Hi,
I’m thinking of purchasing a camcorder sometime soon. I basically want to make it for projects like music videos, sketches, so the quality needs to be quite decent, and must upload to a PC etc. I’m a student so I haven’t got an amazing budget… I also want a good piece of video editing software to add music, transitions, subtitles etc…
Any help appreciated, I’m from the UK and I don’t really want to be buying from places outside 
Thanks
