        When reffering to porn as gonzo alot of the filming is done very close up. tight shots on the action, pov shots and so on. it's not your typical set shots like a normal production with a fixed camera and so on. less effort is put into the directing and selection fo camera angles and so forth, and it just tends to be a whole bunch of hasrd fucking clips slapped together in no particular sequence.

            Oh I see, like when they interview the pornstar AS a pornstar instead of some bullshit story, I prefer that...

                          My understanding is it comes from Hunter S Thompson (the fear and loathing in las vegas guy) and that style of bare bones journalism. Obviously in porn it basically means no script or story.

                                    That is just a style of filming, it has nothing to do with gonzo i know

                                    as far i know gozno is

                                    A person with a camcorder who has sexual experiance with other(s) person(s). He (or they) film and participate in the action. Commonly it is filmed in two styles, from his hand and or leaving the camcorder on the tripod. Often these vids are of poor picture and lighting quality, pure amateur work often too.

                                        The Wikipedia entry much nailed it.

                                        The difference between "gonzo" and "wall to wall" can be encapsulated in two words: TALKING CAMERA. In gonzo, the cameraman -- yes, man, if there are any women shooting gonzo they don't come to mind right now -- talks and is actively involved in the scene to the point of commenting and sometimes participating as well.

                                        The term was devised by Gene Ross when he was at AVN to recognize that kind of porn that was real, much like Hunter S. Thompson's stream-of-consciousness gonzo writings tried to achieve in print.

                                        Gene could illuminate further on the origins of the term, if somebody asks him.

                                          Actually, not. There is no bare bones journalism when it comes to HST's "Gonzo Journalism", he wouldn't have made a niche for himself if that was the case.

                                          His style of journalism was to write a story about himself or his character set against the background of the real story he was sent to write about. An awesome blend of fiction and non-fiction performed or set on the stage of current events.

                                          Sadly, he was widely misunderstood and under appreciated. His genius will be missed.
