What does it take to shoot the best porn?
A thread here asking for the best videographer in LA made me think. What would it take to shoot the best porn?
Of course there are different niches and styles. Still the best porn possible would need a few things what ever they were.
1. A great idea. A girl on a bed or sofa type porn has been done to death. so someone has to come up which makes the viewer sit up and take notice. Not so much that it takes anything away from the action though. Also it needs someone to come up with different twists on the theme. Watching 5 scenes with the same scenario gets boring, watching 50 gets tedious.
2. Great porn actors and actresses. Essential to have them giving their all to the scene. What ever the idea, niche or style it needs them to be real and going for it and getting off on scene. So much is faked today it all blends into one in the end.
3. Great director. Who understands the niche, style and models. Able to get the best out of them. Most porn models come to work with only $$$ in their minds. It takes someone good to get them to pull all the stops out. Get all the angles and grab or create the best moments.
Then for certain niches the following are important.
Lighting. Even the best camera can produce average content if it's not lit right.
Sound. Clear sound from a couple of mikes. We want to hear the models breath, not the shooter. And we want to hear the slurp as the dick, fingers or vibrator slide in and out.
Camera. Once you've sorted the above you need a camera to capture the best image.
Make up. It does not have to be Playboy level but it needs to be done by a pro. Few girls can do their own for a lot of styles and niches.
Location. What ever the niche or style I'm sick of seeing a girl on a sofa or bed, scene after scene. Get a Winnebago, caravan, boat, bus, train. Shoot somewhere that makes it different.
BUDGET. NONE OF THE ABOVE COME CHEAPLY. Which is why a lot of porn today is average to mediocre.
And if you do create such a great product you can sell it to DVD, Cable and softcore markets if you shoot a softcore version.
