I have no experience in filmaking,but i know quite a bit about it just from ive watching movies my whole life, things ive picked up from behind the scenes segments, interviews etc. ive worked with a few camcorders. I write stories and Im working on a few ideas for scripts right now. I love to write.
I hope to get a nice high end camera like the Canon XL2 sometime in the future. My question is, if I have a camcorder( even if its an old VHS one ), what are some reasonably priced editing software to get. Im usually broke.
Plus what are some good books, manuals to get for novice filmmakers? Im really interested in the direction,writing,cinematography,art direction and music aspects of film.
I really like this site, and id appreciate any help. ............Thanks
