Hey
Recently I decided to persuade my film making aspirations and go for my first project. My idea is to make a documentary for a trip I'm going to make.
Basic ideas are;
- edit the short clips of the footage "on terrain", I don't know the correct term but my idea is to edit the footage every few days, on the spot. to make short segment of the trip, possibly for "trip progress so far" type of video. Any recommended hardware for the job, Macbook pro or something else?
- besides the short edits, after I finish the trip, I would like to edit the footage to make a full length documentary/travelogue out of it.
So, what cameras are recommended (it would be nice to have few choices, to get best bang for a buck hehe) for broadcast use
Is editing in Premiere an option? Will it be good enough for TV? I would like to get my movie on my local TV, and judging by the program they air, I really think I have a shot.
Also, what about using music from published soundtracks? I saw quite a lot TV programs and segments (both on commercial TVs and national TV stations) that use "famous" soundclips in their short segments. Do I need to get clearance for those things?
Thanks for any answers
