Making a Movie - What you need to make your movie
Camera Equipment - To get started you really need a video camera that records in digital format. From low end to high end you don't have to spend a lot for a good camera these days with a crystal clear picture. Two Cameras are better than one see why with video editing tricks.
"To be a good editor you must chop and sculpt video into stories, always
find a way work around obstacles, and create a splendid story with the footage you have."
Video Editing Software - Our best pick is Adobe Premier Pro for windows and Final Cut for Macintosh although if I worked on a Mac you should choose Final Cut Pro. A long time ago both programs were similar. Video formats and changing video formats.
Audio Equipment - Learn about video and audio. How you can get good audio very cheap and what you have to pay to get good sound quality. It is a lot harder to get good quality audio than you may think. You may need Microphones, Audio amplifiers and Pop filters. You will also benefit from good editing software.
"To be an audio expert you must capture good audio. This can be a lot harder than you think."
Audio Software - Audio Software really helps when you have a poor audio and you need to improve it. There are many audio software's out there even some that are free. We do recommend higher end audio software if making movies is going to be a serious hobby for you but for the average amateur there is good free audio software out there that does many things including cleaning noise out of your clip and giving a variety of formats to save in.
 Graphic Design Essentials - Learn some basics of photoshop which seems to be essential for all kinds of interesting stuff that can be imported and manipulated in a video editing software. Once you can do a bit of graphic design you can make magic happen on your videos.
Special Effects - See a video and animation done with Photoshop and a good editing software. Special Effects explained!
Trapcode Shine is an effect from you see every day on TV all the time. It is also frequently used in movie titles. It adds shimmering light behind an object bringing more life to still images or text.
Trapcode Shine is a plugin. This means it's not actually a software but plugs into another software such as Premier Pro or other video editing software. All you have to do is put it in the video editing software's plugins folder.
