Hello,
I need some advice on a camera. I want to make a documentary about a special topic in India. I do have two protagonist and the documentary will show a specific topic and takes their lifes as a base example. I do need a camera for that.
Here comes the problem - I will not go there and the two people have not a lot idea about cameras and filming. I want to hand them over the camera and let them film themselves.
They cannot load of film to a computer for example, thats why it must be based on tape.
I hope they don't break it but it shouldn't be very expensive (<$1000) either
Sound quality is always very important - it should be possible to stick a mic onto the camera. (what mic ?)
I want them to use always a tripod (what tripod ?)
Does anyone here have any suggestions which camera, mic and tripod combo I could buy ?
As always - thanks a lot for the advice - very much appreciated.
Kind regards
LaForge
