What would you like to read in an E Book about shooting porn?

I'm in the middle of writing an E Book on shooting porn and would welcome some ideas on what people think would be useful to know. It's just from my POV and to give people good foundations and advice. There are many ways to shoot good porn.

It will cover from amateur on a small budget to top end on a limitless budget, and for the hobbiest and the pro.

This is what I'm covering.

What do you need.
Equipment, props, locations, etc.

Budget

What to shoot.
Deciding what to shoot and why.
What niche or niches, what are your capabilities and limits, how much can you do and most importantly is how to learn what to shoot.

Why do you want to shoot porn?
Identify your aims and targets.
This will allow you to set your targets and check your progress.
Do you want to shoot pornography, erotica or photography?

How to find models.
Best places to find models, motivating models.
One of the things so many find hard and professionals find it's the easiest part of their job. Where to find them, how to approach them and most importantly is to establish trust.

Where to start.
How to prepare yourself to shoot good porn and make it successful.
You will need a plan of action, this will help you build the right knowledge and experience.

How to use the equipment.
How to practice with the equipment so you do not look foolish and get the best from your models.
Lighting.
Technique is everything when shooting, here I will tell you how to be master of the equipment, build your technique using it and find out before you start paying expensive models how to benefit from mistakes.

Interview and castings.
How to run a professional casting, prepare the ground for the future shoots.
Everything is up for grabs at a casting.
How to establish respect, understanding and trust.

Preparation for a shoot.
Get the groundwork right and the shoot can be a breeze.
Get it wrong and it will be hard work.
Knowing what you want before you start.
Planning out the day.
Having the right tools, props and support.

Greeting models on the day and preparing them.
Looking professional, prepared and relaxed is easy. If you know how.

Posing and building a scene.

And a few other things.

So far it's 12,500 words and growing every day.
