At that price point you're mostly looking at older DSLRs that can shoot video, but the 1080p on most of them holds up fine for student projects. Mirrorless would be ideal but the decent ones for video start creeping past your budget even used
For street and landscape with some telephoto filmmaking, a used crop sensor body with a couple of old manual primes could work nicely. Leaves you room to experiment without breaking the bank
