Hi u/Samirawale87 - I'd get either a $129.99 Zoom SGH-6 shotgun mic capsule or a $149.99 Zoom SSH-6 stereo shotgun mic capsule, if you want stereo, as seen here.
You can attach the capsule directly to your H5 and then mount the recorder on your rig.
Probably the least expensive and most compact solution.
When you can, though, you will want to get the mic off your shoulder and up on a boom. A shotgun needs to be no more than 2 or 3 feet from your talent to get decent sound.
Hope this is helpful and good luck with your short films!
Zoom has a good recorder shotgun attachment, which can record internally on a zoom recorder on your hotshoe and output to your camera. I always recommend this to beginners due to the simplicity of the setup for very usable documentary audio. Less than the cost of a sound guy for a day.

Also the Sennheiser mke440 is a really good on camera mic but you're at the mercy of your cameras preamps, or you have to rig on top of the zoom recorder making it more clumsy. and it's something like 350 if I remember right.
