Q. I'm ready to shoot my feature length horror movie now. I'm wanting to invest in a HD camcorder that will have that "film look" but that will also reproduce well when it's projected up on the big screen when i try and get it into some of the film festivals. Any suggestions which type of camcorder can help me get that end result that i'm looking for? Thanks in advance.
A. That depends. A good camcorder that shoots full HD (1920x1080) will do a reasonable job on the big screen. That's Blu-Ray quality. Film provides higher resolution, and some digital projectors will also provide about twice the resolution, called 4K (as opposed to 2K, which is full HD).
But you don't win or lose at a festival based on image quality alone. If your content is good, people won't worry too much about the video quality, as long as it's reasonable. So a good HD camera (even a consumer model) could be fine, as long as the rest of the movie is good.

How long until we start seeing cheap, compact 4k camcorders in electronic stores, disgracing cinematography?
Q. and we start seeing $50 cameras on drug store shelves with giant "FULL HD VIDEO!" labels replaced with "4K RESOLUTION VIDEO!"
Yes, quantity over quality.
Make cinematography better by making it trite.
Okay.
Sounds great.

A. A person can buy a $50K guitar and still not know how to play.
A person can buy a Ferrari and they won't suddenly know how to get first place in a race.
Your new adidas tennis shoes with independent suspension springs will cost you $200, but you'll still break your ankle trying to jump the 2" your capable of jumping to dunk a basketball on a full-height hoop.
And with cheap fully-auto digital cameras out there, pictures are getting better over-all, but professional photographers are professional because of them, not because of their cameras.
Cheap gear won't disgrace cinematography, because no one will look at film that is made by "cheap"(lousy, uncommitted) cinematographers.
What people watch will be what is made by the best cinematographers, just as these things always work. The gear is irrelevant.
