For me much of today's porn is very formulaic. First the "interview" section with some lame questions and answers. Camera guy's voice is too loud (because his mouth is 1cm away from the mic) and model's voice is barely heard. Then on to the strip section, then the stuntmeat enters the scene. The usual standard positions and camera positionings ensue, usually with two (or more) people that obviously have no connection whatsoever to one another and have no idea how to convincingly pretend that they do. Might as well be two robots fucking. It's often hard to tell if most of these girls are even enjoying it.
Then there's the bad sound issue. I often find myself wondering why so many shooters won't invest in a few wireless mics and place them strategically hidden so they level out the sound, but no. They rely solely on the camera mic. Can't hear what the "actors" are saying half the time. The shooter then fails to use the zoom and instead moves the camera physically closer to the model's face, thus causing the sound level of her moaning to go through the roof and blasting out your speakers.
Wireless mics are really not that expensive these days, and so worth getting.
Lighting? Don't get me started. I'll just say that when you pan in for the crotch/fuck shot you really do need to get extra light up in there (espcially if the girl has dark skin). All too often I see such shots and you can't see a damn thing, just "dark" and what looks like some gyrating movement. In other words why bother, it's a waste of a shot.
I have more peeves but those are the biggies for me.
Good thread Paul.
