Hi. I (15 soon 16) have been interested in the recording, directing and editing of films for quite some time and have only made small trailers with iMovie so far. Meanwhile, I'm away from iMovie and have dealt with premiere pro. I told my friends about the idea of making a real movie and we already have a semi-finished script. Now finally comes the question: Who knows what good but relatively cheap film equipment would be? I'm talking about lighting, microphones and static or rigs or sliders or cameras. Since I have a birthday soon and it will not be long until Christmas, now is the perfect time for a "wish list" XD
Sorry about so much text.
Thanks in advance

PS: My equipment so far:
A Sony Cyber shot (2 years old)
Laptop with premiere pro
Good mood and desire to make a film 😁
For other tips and tricks I'm open
I would buy for the beginning a NEN tripod and ne steadycam / glidecam.
Light, I would recommend you to pay a little more and get 2 good led pannels.
For microphones, it's just a question of budget.
For a start, you do not need mega-equipment - but even cheap equipment can go into the money, if you do not buy the ultra-grottigste.
Halfway good cheap lighting like 2-3 Godox SL60W (~ 130 Euro each)
More expensive, if you do not want to be wired. A Godox SLB60W LED spotlight costs ~ 300 Euro.
Stands + Lichtformer (for the beginning should be enough normal softboxes or studio screens, which you get in the set with cheap lighting for 30-50 euro)
You do not need sliders either, you do not do any professional production. A gimbal is quite enough for slide shots.
From China but there are also cheap such small Dolly-Wägelchen that you can simply pull with a line over a flat surface: https://www.banggood.com/Desktop-Camcorder-DSLR-Camera-Video-Wheels-Rail-Rolling-Track-Slider-Dolly-Car-p-1351707.html?rmmds=search&cur_warehouse=CN
A cheap gimbal is the High iSteady Multi (up to 400g). Is suitable for all small devices to compact cameras. (~ 150 euro)
As far as the camera is concerned, I would use your Cyber Shot for the first few attempts and later upgrade to a RX100III or Canon G7XII.
Goes the stabilizer anyway, because I do not have such a small digital camera but the approximately the: https://www.amazon.de/...00I9X2KGM/
I'm not exat but the size is coming
Sorry I forgot to describe the camera
Okay, the SONY Cyber-shot DSC-H300
Do I have
I do not know. Maybe you need something bigger. To be completely sure, maybe more like Zhiyun Webill LAB: https://www.gearbest.com/tripods/pp_3004771764651365.html?wid=2000001&lkid=20248294
