Editing content.
This one varies on the site you have or the site you're selling to. The first place to do any editing is on the shoot. Know what you're going to be aiming at achieving. A posing book that fits the niches and style of what you're shooting is a must IMO. It helps you keep the shoot going in the direction you need. Remember every pose can be shot from a slightly different angle or even varied to a slightly different position. Keep it varied and keep the model moving. Shoot to a format and then when you're finished review your work with a critical eye.
NO TWO SHOTS SHOULD BE THE SAME.
When shooting video, again the first place to think about the editing is on the shoot. By shooting the stills first you give the model/models a clue about the positions and running order you want the scene to progress in. Give the model/models clear instructions on what you want. Don't let them just wing it. Have hand signals to tell them when to turn over, stand up, sit down, lay down etc. Then you have to rely on short oral instructions that will have to be edited out later. DON'T HAVE MODELS IN A COUPLES SCENE CONTINUALLY LOOKING AT THE CAMERA. Solo girl is works, boy girl and lesbian it does not.
Remember to shoot "cut aways" these are points in the scene where you shoot a different angle or close up or a face so you can use it during the editing of the scene. You want the whole thing to flow in the viewers eyes.
And shoot a proper beginning and ending. I know people want to see the action but if that's all they want want there are a million scenes that will fill their need on Tubes. Why is the model there doing this and will they finish with an ending. Each scene needs and ending.
