Which DSLR camera should I buy?

I'm looking to get my first DSLR camera, I have looked at quite a few online using the JB Hi-Fi website and there seems to be so many different types but I'm not too sure which one would be right for me and what I hope to use it for. I'm an aspiring filmmaker and videographer so naturally I would need a DSLR that handles recording video rather well, I have looked at two models which would suit my price range (currently have a bit over $600, trying to save to as high as I can) I have looked at the Canon EOS 1300D which is $479 dollars (I'm in Australia if it matters) which is definitely affordable but it seems a little more for photography rather recording video there also appears to be no external mic port and getting a mic would be something I would need I'm sure to getting good audio.

The second I looked at was the Nikon D3400 which is $549, it doesn't seem too different from the previous one aside from the addition of recording video in 60fps which I don't know if I would use I'm not a huge expert on 60fps. Does anyone have any recommendations out of these two cameras, or maybe even some other cameras that would be better? Something that can record at least 1080p video at the standard fps with a port for plugging in a mic and that isn't overly expensive preferably under $1000.

Any recommendations and information would be appreciated. Also regarding lens kits, I don't know much about lenses at the moment but have been trying to learn.
