I recomend taking some telcom classes. you will learn everything you need. such as editing, lighting, camera skills, sound, and script work. all the telcom skill go into movie work. you will be pointed in the write (haha play on words) direction. i took years of telcom just to make my zombie movie (which i lost all material in a horrible experience!). look into
www.telcomcayuga.org that's a good cheap school that has everything you need. i know i didn't really answer your question, but for real telcom is the way to go! learn all skills and make the whole damn thing yourself and cut out the number of mouths to feed once you do get paid by industry for your work!
