Amateur film club needs help from expert	Can't Post

Hello, i am a sophmore in highschool. I started a film club at my highschool with plans of recruiting a group of students to make amateur films with. as students we have a budget of maybe $500. i have access to a DV camera but dont know what to do once we have made a film? is their some special way we should shoot our scenes for the editing? where can i edit the film? how much would it cost? are their any amateur video contest for students like us? i also need advice on film from someone who has experience with this kind of project before. please email me
thank you, carson

Hi Carson,
If you have a faculty advisor, you might want to ask their
help in finding a place to edit for little or no money. Ask
them to call a local cable TV public access station. In my area
one of our High Schools even has it's own station.
Another place I would try is a local community college. Look
for the video production instructors. If your film club doesn't have a faculty advisor, I would ask one of your teachers for help in doing this. Your school librarian may also be able to help you.
Let me know if you have trouble following these leads. I'll
see what else I can do.
Best,
Hal
