Replying to Starting to film. Any Help?

Like the title says, I want to get into filming. I don't have a really expensive camera, but I do have a basic coolpix camera that shoots in 12 megapixels. I have a ghetto little gopro handle for it and I'm currently out of skiing due to an acl injury. I'm thinking about filming anything just for some practice like; A day in the life of my dog, a rehab edit etc. If you guys have any suggestions or tips on how to get started please let me know! I appreciate the help NS.
