So i'm currently still writing the script on my movie and i'm drawing the story boards. I know what I want to shoot and the only thing I can think of that I would need on the camera I need is a hard drive (so I can go in and edit right away on the computer without having to use video) and the most important part I would like on the camera is a manual focus option. Ideally it would be a manual focus wheel on the end of the lens.
I'm going to be doing a lot of indoor shooting with dark environments and minimal lighting. I'm very new to the process and have virtually no idea what kind of camera I would need.
Some suggestions would be greatly help. Thanks.
P.S. Regardless of what I wrote here on what I think I need like the manual focus ring and a hard drive, any other suggestions would be welcomed. Thank you again.
P.S.S. I'm also wondering whether I should record speech directly when recording video (although there will likely be a lot of interference), or to just record the speech into the movie after shooting (which will require a lot of trial and error to get the speech to match lip movements, volumes, and editing). What would be ideal is if the camera had a wireless mic attachment that would transfer the speech from the actors directly to the camera and record it directly. Anything like that that anyone knows of?
