Hello! In addition to teaching theatre classes, I also teach film. My class has written a short script they would like to film, and we have a fund at school to purchase supplies. I would like to purchase four items and need suggestions for types and sites where I might get them.
1. A camera (with manual focus, manual white balance, an audio plug to plug in external microphone, image stabilization, and progressive scan
2. A good tripod
3. A shotgun microphone to plug into the camera with xlr cables and boom pole and wind eliminator
4 reflectors
Any suggestions would be very helpful. I can spend up to $2500 total (though I also need to purchase editing software). This class serves actors as well as writers and designers.
Thank you in advance!
