I believe there are lots of guides actually on youtube that discuss that. The general consensus is that you work with what you have and build up from there when you realise what your limitations are.

There are videos put up that are from mobile phones, that are clear enough to do the job. If it's a simple video (ie/ just you talking/demonstrating something) it's best to have a room or section of a room that you can designate to filming and minimise outside noises. One guy basically just used his wardrobe and a blanket as a make shift sound booth xP

Best of luck!

Hello first off the bat :)

Secondly I actually had my own media production company before going off to university to study media video and print, before getting a placement editing videos for a large game festival which I also did some coding and Q+A for as well as for the BBC as a camera man. And now my media work is limited as my IT side of things has taken over, but if you ever need any suggestions etc or advice literally ANYTHING; I would be happy to help in a heart beat! :D Now my personal preference for camera is a Sony Z1 with a phantom battery and boom mic (preferably Rode as they tend to be good quality). But when it comes to quality picture what I was once taught before I was doing multi clip editing is using a DSLR camera and using a standard video camera elsewhere to capture the sound on the onboard mic or a plugged in boom.

More and more people involved in indie projects and things such as smaller budget films and adverts are filmed via the second method due to the difference in quality when filming with a DSLR. But as pointed out nothing is cheap unfortunately. But if you have been a good girl there is always Santa :D ha ha

REALLY sorry if I rambled...I tend to do that way too much!!
