The essence of porn that sells.
 

Had nothing to do with what many fuss over here on GFY.

More later.

The essence of creating a good porn scene that sells is simple. It has to arouse the viewer. It's not about the niche, the style, whether he's shoving his cock down her throat or stroking her like a puppy. It has to appear as if the performers are into the act. All the rest comes after.

That's the toughest part of creating porn and creating a site with it that sells, even on a free tube it has to do this. What would be interesting to see is how many times a scene was watched the whole way through. As a view can be 30 seconds or 30 minutes.

The reason good amateur and Ex Gf is hard to create has nothing really to do with the girl holding the camera. It's about whether she can convince someone that she is an amateur or someone's Ex Gf. Because in most cases, she's doing it for the money with little care if it sells or not.

How a shooter gets the actors into the mood is the part that's hard. shooting too much in a day, by a person with too little experience is probably going to end in disaster. Thinking if the BF can shoot it with his photography skills, so I can is beyond belief. He's fucking her, you're not. Well sometimes we are and that's the skill, getting a girl to look at you with sex in her eyes, like she means it. And not like you're telling her.

So how to create porn that sells.

Today it's tough, so no easy answers.

A model's and shooter's personality, character and for the shooter his charm are the make and break point. Some people simply cannot shoot or model for porn. So let's get positive.

Interview a model, how suitable is she for the job is what you need to discover. Looks, personality, character and attitude towards the shooter and the work are essential if you want something that will sell. And by sell even on a Tube site and for free it has to sell, in that getting an erection and not getting passed over to the next one.

A guy who can talk to a girl in a bar and get her to date him or bed him. Will find it easier than a guy who has no hope. The myth that guys who can't get laid become porn shooters to solve the problem is wrong to the point of stupid. Hookers are cheaper, shooting bad porn can bankrupt him.

So setting the interview atmosphere is important, greet her by name, or ask her, tell her your name, what will happen today, what's in it for her. Tell her about the work, where, when, how, who, rewards, etc. Lead the conversation without ignoring her points, so ask if she has any questions. I used to not tell her what I wanted her to do, I asked her to tell me what she wanted to do after learning al the work I had for her.

Watch her face and eyes as you tell her about the work. They will often tell you more than the girl will. If they contract, she's not happy, if they open more she is. Other things like body language are essential tools. Fortunately I had training in this and a talent for reading people. It's my top talent for shooting porn.

Then if possible take some nude pics of her, looking for all the flaws here and how she handles posing. It's like asking a secretary to type a letter at an interview. Present is as 100% normal, which it is.

If she says yes to lesbian sex, ask her if she's had sex with a girl. Ask her if she liked it and would do it again. If not ask her how she feels about it, on the answer you can even ask her if she would like to try it with your female assistant.

If she says yes to BG. Ask her if she can fuck when you say action. If she yes and looks very willing, fine. If she looks like she might have a problem and says yes. Say action and pot to your crutch. If she comes over, fine. If she makes excuses, tell her to rethink doing BG. And yes I have tested girls like this. I'm not in the business of losing money on girls who can't do the work. If she needs forcing, she walks, if she's willing, she works.

If suitable for your work, book her. Then tell her to confirm before the shoot, 24 hours is good, and phone you as she leaves. In case of problems. If she has no intention of doing the work or changes her mind you save time and money.

On the shoot have everything ready before models arrive. Greet them, make them feel you're happy they are here. Tell them what will happen and start directing them. To a cup of tea or the shower, show them what to wear. Lead the day, don't let them lead you. Do this with a smile ad a joke. Like "There's the shower, every things ready, towels, dressing gown, soap. I'll be there in a minute, to rub your back and other places." With a laugh and a joke, you're in control gently.

And that's how the whole day progresses. She's not a body, whore, slut, to be used, etc. She's a real person that does this work because she needs the money. Make it fun for her.

lol paul is taking this serious... hahahahahha... cmon chumskie..

Everything's ready and it's time to shoot. For the shooter this started weeks or months earlier.

If he's a newbie or learning, he's worked out where his level is. Chances of him competing in styles dominated by those who have been doing it for years are long. Odds on he's starting in an amateur style. Let's look at that.

Amateur to me has always meant the model not the shooter. All this needs is a model who looks like she's having fun, enjoying herself and not there to earn money and fuck off home. Which is why it's essential you meet the model first.

So preparation for a shoot. Always found shooting a set before the video helps bond model and shooter, this is team work so even if it's only 50 frames good idea to get to know 50 different shots. Easy enough, all you need to do is study magazines and see the poses they like, or study a set of a magazine shooter. Also think of the video and the positions you want the models in and the angles you will shoot them from. Models are to look like amateur, shooters are not. Will explain that in depth further on. Store the shots in a laptop in the order you will shoot. Clothed, stripping, nude. Any shooter worth his salt should be able to do 50 different shots, in fact 200 different ones isn't a problem. Now study the running order and get it fixed into your head.

Now study video, look at lots of different shooters and study angles, positions of models and running order. Make a story board and again store it in your laptop and learn it.

Then decide how you will bring your style and personality into the work. This only you can do as it will change for every shooter, it's about you being you and even though you will be copying others. You're blending the mix your way.

OK, now for why you need to prepare like this.

Even if you're shooting Ex Gf you need the model to shine, look natural as if she's doing it for her boyfriend. Expecting her to perform lie that for a stranger who doesn't have a clue what to do is hoping for too much. you need to know what she will do, how you will shoot her and above all when you tell her to "Do her own thing." Know what that is, because some girls won't have a clue and frankly some won't care. They are there to get money at the end of the shoot, you have to go sell the work.

Just flirt, flatter and shoot her as she is, let her personality come out. AND get her working with you. If you know what to do to the extent that it's automatic, the girl becomes the focus of your attention. So even with Ex Gf you can work on her looking like someone who cares for you and even wants to screw you.

This is essential and you will build it over time. every good shooter I've know had lots of personality. I was cheeky and the girls always felt like I would love to jump into bed with them yet wouldn't. A "Dirty young/middle age/old man who could control himself.". There were many others who adopted the same or similar personality, some with charm, craziness, lust and me with my cheeky/joking approach. Let a girl know you think she's desirable, yet you can control your feelings perfectly and you have the mix with most.

Timid ones need confidence building, shy ones need coaxing, crazy one need calming, horny ones need to wit till the end, beautiful ones need you to be blasé and pig headed ones need to be shown the door. This is the art of a pornographer and the toughest thing to get right.

Don't expect to pick up a camera and point it to make good porn.

The above can be adapted to solo, GG and BG.

Will someone clue Paul in on this forum being a joke to make fun of him?

It is getting painful to watch.
