Q&A: I want to start making movies…my camera?

Question by sykopenguin4292: I want to start making movies…my camera?
Me and my three best friends are all really passionate about films, and since we all want to become movie makers in adulthood, we want to start making movies now. (We are all 16). We have lots of stories planned out and such, but we only have on camera, and it is a very old style sony handycam 8 that still uses tapes. We want to all combine our money to get a really nice camera that is digital, and it has to have great picture quality and sound, and preferably a wide camera angle lens… We want it to be really good that will last us a long time. Thanks so much =D

What’s your budget? For $ 900, you can get a Canon HV40. That should be great for getting started and until you have more money to buy a more sophisticated camera. However, if you’re serious about making movies, I would highly recommend buying a good editing software. Movie maker and iMovie are good, but if you’re serious about it, I would think about getting Avid, Final Cut Pro, or Premiere Pro. Hope this helped!
