Everybody has a favorite genre of pornographic movie or series that makes their panty tickle, but creating your own homemade tape can be daunting and time-consuming.
Mastering filmmaking takes years of education and experience. According to research firm JupiterKagan Inc., sex movies will only experience half the growth rate seen across other forms of pay-per-view and video on demand programming during this decade.
1. Camera
Porn sex movies videos utilize the camera as an essential element. It captures all the raw sexual energy and explicit imagery that make porn so appealing, such as performers adopting certain positions that may feel odd to them but provide striking footage for the camera. They may adopt odd angles that don’t feel natural in everyday life but make for great footage on camera. They may also fuck like they were performing a script that they may rehearse prior to filming – in theory protecting them from obscenity charges. However, this hasn’t always been the case; in 1957 the Supreme Court narrowed definition of obscenity thus legitimizing most pornographic material productions.
2. Lighting
Lighting can make or break a homemade sex tape. Too much light can overshadow and detract from a scene’s sexuality; flattering lighting should show off all aspects of your body in all the right ways; to learn more on this topic, watch some favorite porn videos to understand how their filmmakers have set up scenes.
Lighting in porn videos is often underestimated, yet can make or break an otherwise boring video. If filming in a bedroom, take advantage of natural light (such as during sunrise or sunset) to add warmth and inviting glow that sets the scene for your scene. When using artificial lights such as fluorescents overhead lights may cause shadows and glare that is distracting; dim lamps or candlelight are more suitable.
Camera placement is another key element of making a porn sex movie. From creating a voyeuristic feel, role playing scenarios or giving seductive verbal narration during scenes, choosing the ideal camera angle can add another level of excitement and suspense for viewers watching your film.
Most people do not have access to an entire crew dedicated solely to building them a custom porn set and hiring 15 crew members, so the cameras they use for making sex videos tend to be pretty basic. For ease of use and high-quality HD recording capabilities, recent smartphones often suffice. You could even opt for adding an external mic if desired for improved audio quality.
Make sure that before filming anything sexy, always receive consent from your partner first. Confirm they feel comfortable with having their images or videos shared online and that they understand they may withdraw it at any time.
3. Editing
Editing is what truly elevates any sex tape. Though the process requires time and dedication, a few tools exist that can make this easier and faster.
Always start by using a tripod, as this will provide stability and make changing angles simpler. There are various kinds of articulating tripods which will let you move in all directions or fold up for convenient storage in your pocket – plus using one will also enable you to take low light shots without risking camera shake ruining your shot!
Digital zoom lenses can also be very helpful for filming sex tapes, allowing you to get closer while still capturing clear images. A good microphone will ensure clear audio capture if your video requires much talking from either party involved.
Use an external recorder to ensure clear, unobstructed audio if you’re recording outside your own home or at someone else’s. This is particularly helpful when recording away from distractions like sirens.
Planning stage requires open discussion between you and your co-star regarding their ideas for the video and what you hope to accomplish with it. Make sure both parties involved are enthusiastic about its outcome, and understand one another’s expectations.
Now is an ideal opportunity for both partners to discuss consent and safety, so that both are comfortable with the entire filming process and understand what will occur before, during, and after filming.
Finally, take some time to watch porn in order to gain knowledge on what kinds of positions and angles work well on film. While professional porn may provide more inspiration, amateur shows can serve as great sources of insight when considering which sex scenes you wish to include in your own sex movies video.
4. Acting
Film actors appearing in porn sex movies must perform for the camera in ways that please them; their performance may range from subtle to overt, including role playing and using props and toys – some performers even like to role play other characters just to relax their nerves! Whatever their preferred style may be, actors strive to make the scene as real as possible while remaining erotic.
When people watch porn, their brain’s reward pathway becomes stimulated, producing pleasure-inducing chemicals similar to what one might feel from using drugs or alcohol, leading to chemical releases similar to what would happen when someone takes drugs or drinks alcohol. This chemical release lays the groundwork for pornographic addiction; more exposure leads to stronger addiction.
Porn is not only addictive but can be detrimental to society and individuals as a whole. Frequent porn users are more likely to begin having sexual relations earlier and with multiple partners, increasing their risk for sexually transmitted diseases and degrading and violent sexual acts seen on television shows such as soap operas; research has also indicated that people who watch too much porn are less trusting of love relationships in general and less inclined towards commitment in romantic partnerships.
