For independent filmmakers, how to choose the right video equipment has always been an urgent and troublesome thing, and this problem is also one of the most considered and discussed issues for filmmakers. Because apart from shooting techniques, shooting skills and other factors, the quality of the camera has the most intuitive impact on the film image. Poor video equipment will cause blurred images, dim in color and poor in texture. So it is important to select a professional video equipment.

Factors when choosing professional video equipment

When choosing a camera, independent filmmakers consider a variety of factors, such as how much budget do you have now and how much investment do you plan to spend on the camera? How are your shooting skills? Can you get started with some high-end equipment? What are your film requirements and what kind of film images do you need?

Therefore, when choosing a camera, the one that suits you best is the best. After all, "Orange", a film made with Apple 5S at the Sundance Film Festival, an independent filmmaker's Oscar earlier this year, can also shine brilliantly.

Why the sooner you get to the top camera the better？

If you are an ambitious independent filmmaker, you should use top-level cameras to shoot movies as early as possible, such as Red Epic or Arri Alexa, based on your experience in shooting some independent films and mastering basic film shooting skills.

A top camera is very important for independent filmmakers. Top cameras can not only improve the quality of your films, but also lay a solid foundation for the future development of independent filmmakers. Presumably, when you gain enough experience and experience in independent films, you must want to get the opportunity to make big films. And when you apply for these big movie projects, if you have the experience of operating top-level cameras, it will definitely add luster to your job search and stand out.

In addition, top-level cameras can greatly improve your shooting skills and develop your directing potential. We have reason to believe that the training of top cameras for independent filmmakers can make you adapt to the shooting of large-scale crews, improve your scheduling and operational ability for film crews, and choose top cameras, which will definitely make you a more professional filmmaker.

Another choice: renting a top-class camera

Of course, the high cost of top cameras is not affordable for every independent filmmaker, especially for those young people who have just set foot in the film industry. For some novice independent filmmakers who are still in the exploratory stage, the most important thing is to start shooting experience and master basic film shooting and directing skills.

At this time, top-level cameras are not suitable for beginners, so you should choose those step-by-step cameras that suit you. And when you think you have the ability to use top-level cameras, but you are short of money, you can try your luck with filmmakers or crew members who have top-level cameras, and you can negotiate with them to get the opportunity to use top-level cameras.

Camera purchase trap

It is necessary to introduce some common camera purchase traps here. Camera manufacturers usually make a careful sales plan. In order to sell those outdated cameras, they will deliberately delay the replacement of cameras for half a year or one year. When you buy the so-called best camera at that time at a high price, after half a year or a year, you will find that it is out of date and the price has dropped sharply. This is the usual trick of camera manufacturers, so that they can force independent filmmakers to buy new machines constantly. Such bad manufacturers usually only value immediate interests, regardless of whether independent filmmakers live or die.

Therefore, independent filmmakers must know how to identify these bad manufacturers. In addition, when buying a camera, don't think about buying only the most expensive one, but pay attention to the performance and characteristics of the camera. Besides buying, renting a camera is also a very good way. You can find a friend who bought an expensive machine or go directly to the equipment store to rent it.

What kind of camera is the best?

Although we have suggested you buy top-class cameras from the beginning, the best cameras must be cheap and cost-effective ones that you can always use to practice and improve your personal skills and abilities, in other words, as long as you have a zoom and LCD screen.

Even when you already have great shooting skills, these cheap cameras will help you a lot. After all, all the shooting skills can be brought back to nature. After many famous directors become famous, they will keep the humble cameras they used at the beginning and show them from time to time.

As long as your camera can help you improve your shooting skills, whether it is expensive or cheap, it is a good camera.
