Hi Eleni,
You've probably opened up a can of worms with your question! :)
In my opinion, the simplest answer to your second question is to seek a
balance between technical understanding and conceptual strength - if either
are too lacking, a film suffers.
Good luck!

Hey Eleni -
Figure out a way of planning that works for you.
Keeping a notebook or sketchbook, using post-it notes or index cards,
researching - these activities often support the filmmaker through the making
process . . . You can write with pencil on paper or with a computer.

I think Eleni meant Which principles do I have to bear in mind? in terms of
choosing a camera.
A can of worms indeed. To be neutral in the format wars, but opinionated within
categories:

Super-8: Canon 814XL or 1014XL
Budget 16mm: Kodak K100
16mm workhorse: Bolex H16 Deluxe
Film or video? Don't buy anything if you can avoid it. Try borrowing
cameras, or renting them, to experiment. If you have to buy something
buy something that is so cheap that you can buy a better one later. Try
used and junk shops. You need to first discover how you like to work,
how you like
Also, its a bit more searching in this digital age, but you can do the same
thing with a couple of VCRs and a TV (and thrift store tapes) or some film
rewinds, a viewer, and a splicer (and discarded 16mm films).

Learning to edit before starting to shoot on your own may not be for
everyone, but I think it's an excellent suggestion. You may even want to
pursue this for a while before shooting, but if you then want to shoot
on your own, your shooting will be informed by what you have learned to
do with
