Tripod isn't the most important, it just depends on your set up, a DSLR doesn't typically sit flat especially with a long/heavy lens. So you just want it leveled and with a tripod it helps a lot.

But yes, lens and lighting is king for filming.

The blurry edges is called bokeh and it's easier to achieve with a fast prime lens like that 50mm f1.8. The 18-55 kit isn't great. If I recall correctly it's 3.5-5.6 which won't give you much of that blurry background. But it's practically free with the camera.

Will I found this 'Canon EF 50 mm f/1.8 II Lens' on amazon it's £79. Is this what you mean?

And would this lens only fit on certain model cameras?

Thankyou for answering all my questions I really appreciate your help

Yup that's the one I mean. Yes it only fits on certain ones and it will fit on the 60D.

It's definitely a learning curve, but with YouTube and reading the instruction manual or having a friend that owns a DSLR, it's pretty easy to learn.

I noticed that on one review for the canon 60d it had a swivel screen. So would this mean I wouldn't need one of those monitor things?

And as I don't have a mac, only a pc will it still be ok to use with the canon 60d or will I need a mac?

Also can you recommend which software I should use on my pc to make the videos like in the examples sorry to keep asking questions !
 
Just a side note: If you want to show a video just copy the "/watch?v=6LLLTyKrvvw" part of the url so people can find it easier.

Is it difficult to upload videos to YouTube from a canon 60D to as its a big file?

Those to things don't really have much to do with each other. The type and size of your file is determent by the way you export it from your editing software. Doesn't matter which camera you used.
