• Answer:

  Hi Mate, If you are wanting to become a director, you will need to be really open to other peoples advise. I know you probably have just got $250, and you really want a camera to get filming streight away, but this is probably the worst thing you could do. Save up your cash till you have more like $350 - $400. Take a look at the video below. The first 8 mins are all about equipment, but you may wish to watch the rest, as this is really is all the basics you need to know. I know you will probably think that it is a bit long, but these basics are the sorts of things it took me a few years of experience to pick up. When I started out, I bought a cheap home video camera (like the Samsung HMX-Q10), and regretted it big time! There was so much I wish someone just told me before I spent all my cash on stuff not worth while. I made the video for people like you, and like me 3 or 4 years ago.
