Videos If you don't shoot images landscape with the girl standing. So why do so many shoot a wide screen video with her standing? It ends up being a nice view of the location and the girl in 25% of the available screen. Not good.

After the initial intro she has to be sitting, laying, squatting or doggy to get her to fill the frame. Some close ups of her standing are great, but limiting mostly. Takes some real skills to pull that of for 5 minutes of a 10 minute video.

There are lots of variations on a position a girl can be in with her filling the frame. Talk it over with her first and make sure she understands your hand signals or just tell her and edit it out. I use to have a hand signal for just about everything. From standing to fucking herself with a vibrator or fingers.

Standing was me raising my hand, sitting lowering it, laying sweeping it from left to right. The person with the camera directs the girl. Not tries to keep up with her movements. That way ends up with her going out of shot. Fucking herself with a vibrator, use your imagination.

Some shooters stop between video shots, direct the model to what she should do next and carry on. Can be done by those who know how to shoot content that can be edited. Nightmare to edit it if shot wrong and get the scene to flow. When a video sequence stops then start again, you can tell how the shooter is working. If you want to work like that, change the angle and framing by zooming in then opening back up between sequences.

In my experience it's off putting for all but the best models. It disturbs their flow and they get frustrated by it. Sometimes I use to tell the models to keep going while I moved to a new position, gave them instructions on their next position and the whole thing flowed more.
