You’re gonna ned to up your budget. $ 200 isn’t even in the running for a basic camera let alone any actual filmaking. The editing software can cost 4 -5 times that. You need to be a little more realistic with your expectations and do some searches for what cameras cost. You would need to spend about $ 2000 at the low end just for the camera. Not trying to discourage you but take a look at the Canon and Sony cameras (high-end) and then price Adobe Premiere Pro or Avid. Then determine how you will learn to use these apps. If you’re serious, you’ll need to learn a real editing app and not Movie Maker. Good Luck
