Best bet for that though is to get a Director of Photography as they would most probably have there own kit and if they like the script then chance are they would be prepared to help you for nothing.Their is tons really I could say but it would take far too long.

Finally just go out there and make one, unless you are really, really lucky and super talented your first few films will suck royally but you will have a lot of fun making them and you will only get better and you'll learn from all your mistakes.
