Horizontal video
Video camera, including GoPro or similar: These will automatically record horizontal video… so you don’t have to worry about changing anything.
If you are using a GoPro, then DO NOT record in super wide-view / fish-eye mode.
Smartphone: You will need to place your phone horizontally (on its side). The long side of the phone should be on the top and bottom.
Do NOT start out naked
Viewers like to see what you look like dressed also!
Start out dressed (or partly dressed) in whatever your “scenario” is.
Spend a little time dressed and doing whatever you’re doing before you get undressed.
Orgasm / cumshot
This is the “money shot”. Homemade porn videos should generally always include the orgasm(s).
For males, take precautions to NOT shoot your cum onto a white towel, shirt, etc.. or any other area where you can’t see the cum. It’s better to shoot it onto a dark colored surface, cloth, your partner, or just yourself.
To ensure a GREAT cumshot, we suggest males refrain from sex / masturbating / etc for as long as possible prior to filming the video. It’s a fact: the bigger the load, Casual encounters the more viewers enjoy seeing the climax happen.
In porn, it is always a good rule of thump for the viewer to see your face when you orgasm. Your goal is for the viewer to see the intensity & pleasure.
Never end your video right after the orgasm. Instead, take about 30 seconds to relax and show the relief on your face and body.
If you’re into tasting, licking, or eating cum, you should do it… many viewers are turned on by this.
If a male needs prostate stimulation or toys in order to orgasm, show it — many viewers will be turned on by it (plus, there are all kinds of niches and kinks that you probably wouldn’t even think about — but really exist).
Never start a new video clip immediately before the orgasm occurs. If you have multiple clips that comprise your scene, then just keep the video recording as you work up to it. The orgasm should always be something that the viewer sees building up right before it happens.
