Well, I think what you need to do is look at how much you have to spend.... it doesn't sound like you can afford alot so I would suggest buying one of those cheap SIMA character generators (titlemakers) sold at Best Buy.
The sound or musical arrangement could be done with purchasing a simple audio/video mixer from Radio Shack.... that's the way I used to do it.
About two years ago, I found that the computer can be a very effective way to edit video. You should look into it......
It's purely a preference thing but I think Sony is a good place to start. They have the basic system and intial tech support you'd need to venture into quality digital video editing... Of course, you would have to buy a Sony D8 camcorder for around 600 bucks possibly more and a VAIO digital studio computer. The computer comes with a version of Adobe 5.1 LE, for your basic editing needs. You will find a whole new world of possibilities when fooling aroudn with soundtracks in your video... it's virtually possible to do anything.....
That's a brief overview.
Hope this helps........
