If you want quality,

1- You film it of course. If you don’t it to be cheesy, paint a wall green/blue and use it as a blue screen so you can edit in blue screen effects inside of your movie editor. Or use location shooting. Your obviously going to have to record voice, so a nice sound room (or a ultra quite PC with quality mic) will do that job quite well. After that its pretty much just film and go…
2- Dont use windows movie maker. Tons of better programs to use, google will be your friend here.
3- Specific to the video editor you choose.
4- Chose a video editor which you mesh with… Don’t necessarily go with what ever has best reviews – its more about your comfort of use and understanding of it then how crazy the stuff you can produce from it is. Also, when filming music it is REALLY hard to sync up the voice, so be prepared for lots of repetition. I haven’t made that many movies, but always remember to count for the unexpected. I made a HS film project on a curtain blue screen, but due to last minute lighting changes (the sun changed to storms), after filming a whole days worth of film, it was ruined when the video software (dont remember which) would not sub in the background correctly due to the coloring being dimmer.
