Besides these things, which are the easy bits. What else do you bring to the table?

Anyone can get a camera, girls and point it. Editing today is so easy I can do it. These are the things you really need.

Charm, personality, character. You're dealing with other people. you need to direct them to do what's required.

Knowledge of what to shoot, how to shoot it and how to make it interesting, attractive and different to the 1,000,000 scenes already out on release.

You need an outlet to sell it. FEW are buying amateur today and paying enough for a decent return. Do you know what the market pays for Amateur, these days?
