Amateur Vs. Professional

The article had made me look at the difference between amateur and professional filmmakers in a completely different way and that the word “Amateur” is actually Latin for lover, the latter which indicates that someone would do something thing more for the love of it rather than the economic aspect. I never thought that amateurs (while having envy for professionals for the actors, the amazing sets, and so on) would have something that professionals envied, which is the freedom. The amateur is able to focus more on their film as an art form, rather than a paycheck. They don’t have to worry about the products and the deadlines when it comes to making the professional industry.
