I have been planning on starting a documentary
later this year. I've been reading up on it as much as I possibly can
finding out everything I will need to know legal wise. Basically, as it
stands, I've comprised a list of what I should need.
Good camera, capable of making true 16: 9 and possibly 480 P. I
want the best quality camera I can get but not entering HD so I can get
a higher quality one for cheaper.
I would like too have two mic's. One for location and shooting with
set-up interviews. Another for interviews, news style, like a hand mic.
The other thing I need to learn about is location fee's I'm not
sure about how this works, how much it will cost or how to go about
finding these things out.
I have pretty much everything in my mind as to how to go about getting the interviews. I have connections and constantly growing connections in the field that I will be filming, all that I need is the money to get started, and that is where I am pretty much at a loss.
