I very much appreciate it, thank you.
Now that it has been brought to my attention, I can see your point about the camera angle not being inline with eye level. You are also correct in your assessment that I just stood, pointed the camera and began shooting. I was concerned that if I stooped over to be in line with the models eyes that I wouldn't be able to hold the camera steady by the time the scene ended. I was worried that I would end up with too much shaky footage.
If the stabilization on your camera isn't very good, would using a single stick solve the problem do you think?

think carefully about your intended market and emulate or innovate camera technique as needed. camera should be transparent to your product unless cameras play a role in the 'story'. content will always be more important that 'capture'... think Blair Witch Project verses any big budget production with a similar audience niches. look at the stuff on clips for sale. really atrocious productions in many cases at the top stores.

I really like the idea of using dialog that's tantalizing, strange and just a little hostile to rope the viewer in. Most fetish content does need the models to carry the scene through dialog and their acting performance.

When I wrote the script I was going for humor, I personally enjoy porn that has a little levity in it. My personal preference is for content that is either so intense that it's almost palpable, or that it's a little quirky and so unique that it makes one want to laugh.
That's kind of what I was going for with this one. I wanted it to be humorous yet still contain elements that cross over into the bdsm realm. Like a violet wand electro shock insertion scene and therapeutic nipple clamps. |
a good actor will supply plenty of humor with a bit of encouragement. take some time a research your markets and shoot as simply as possible, making sure your production standards are flawless. for instance, if the audio is out a bit you might see a clip with bad audio, the audience will see a bad clip.
develop 'solid, clean production technique' to present a product that is transparent to the viewers, with no distractions from the 'story' to begin, then as your production technique improves, see where you can make simple lens adjustments etc. to clarity and bring the story into better focus, without your technique causing a distraction... the simpler the better.
BTW use solid camera mounts, tripods, wall mounts etc... in the old days, the 50's, some directors ran the story by the camera instead of the camera chasing the story. 40's and 50's film noir is great for studying production and camera shots because they had no money or time to shoot, and the dialog "you're no good and I'm no good, we deserve each other" wow!!
