Hi all sifu,
I'm still new in photography,
My gear:
Nikon D5300
AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-140mm
Nikon 50mm f/1.8 AF-D
Just want to ask
1.What is next lens should i upgrade ?
2.What lens should i use for recording movie?
3.Where to find lens hood for 18-140mm
Thanks
50mm is not preferable for some of us, usually is 35mm f1.8 because of its wider field of view although there is slightly less bokeh-ness at wide open compare to 50mm
1. shoot with your kit lens till you know what you need
2. kit lens, your 18-140 or 18-55 is good enough, easy to get hyperfocal which save you from blur video

Not a sifu
Probably a 50mm f/1.8 AF-S

(give me that AF-D

) since D5300 don't have motor to AF that lens. Or you could move to wider lens like 35mm or 28mm as 50mm is too long for full body shot on DX camera (got hit with this at Animangaki last weekend

)
For movie, I think your 18-140mm is good enough
50mm on DX is 75mm (50 x 1.5) while 35mm on DX is 52.5mm (35 x 1.5), so for this kind of event i will say 35mm f1.8 is more suitable, cant get full body shot, only half-body unless shoot from high/low angle
but canon user might say 50mm is better than 35mm

buy 24-70mm f/2.8 , good enough.
if you feel expensive, that's means you still good with your current lens and yea, no need change la haha.

(i'm just joking

)
good enough only? then what is the best?
