Not only professional porn actors get down for the camera. Porn is also filmed in private home more often than you might think.
Somehow this is understandable, because it can have its charm if you know that you are filmed by a camera during sex. But also watching the it afterwards – whether alone or together – can be downright dirty!
But how do you shoot porn yourself? Are there certain things to keep in mind or is it just simply filmed? How you can film yourself during sex and what you should consider, you will learn from all the tips in this article.
Permission is requested
First of all, it is important that the sex partner(s) (even in the case of couples) are informed that you want to shoot a private video.
It is also necessary that you get a consent for this. Nobody wants to see themselves unasked and naked on the Internet.
Because simply filming someone having sex is not legally allowed and you could be sued for it. Even if the video is only intended for private use. So it’s entirely your responsibility to address this openly and honestly.
The right camera for sex video shooting
Another important point is the right camera for your private porn. Many think that the Handy-cam and a bottle of sparkling wine are enough as an amateur starter kit.
However, this is not quite true, because there is already a little more to it, abd it depends on what kind of porn you want to shoot.
If you are more of a spontaneous type, it may be enough if you simply turn on your mobile phone camera (smartphone) and film a few porn clips yourself. This has something of amateur porn and is very well received by many viewers.
On sites like Cam4, by the way, the members are particularly into self-made live porn. Have a look!Â
However, if you want high-quality content, such as seeing the woman’s breasts wiggle during the doggy, or you want to listen afterwards to what you moan in each other’s ears, then a smartphone camera is the wrong choice.
For this type of porn, you should dig a little deeper into your pocket and get a more professional camera, preferably even with a tripod. These cameras are available from about ÂŁ300. A very good video camera to shoot your own porn is available for somewhere in the region of about ÂŁ500-1000.
Tips for shooting porn yourself
Let’s take a look at some tips that make filming easier, so that in the end better porn films come out and the watching men and women get their money’s worth.
The shoot – do you have a script?
Once all the previous details have been clarified, you should think about whether you prefer porn in which one of the actors films everything, or whether you prefer to leave the camera on a tripod and the scene is filmed from outside.
With a POV porn, the clear advantage is that it is filmed from the front line and thus the most intimate details can be recorded.
However, if a tripod is used and it is not moved, untarnished shots are created, which seem much more professional. And this professionalism helps to give you a real star feeling.
The location – tidy and good lighting
So far everything has been clarified. Now it is important to bring the location into shape. You will probably use your own four walls, so clean them up!
There should be no dirty dishes or dirty laundry lying around and also family photos should be removed in the best possible way, after all, you certainly do not want child photos or photos of your grandparents to be seen in the porn.
It should also be avoided that pets walk through the picture while filming. Another tip is to provide good lighting. This can be done with an extra lights or by shooting your porn yourself in a bright place.
The mood is everything (fun and joyful)
The most important thing is that during the shoot the desire for sex is really present, because if you are not in the mood, this will be clearly visible on the video.
If, on the other hand, everyone involved is in the mood, sex and, as a result, porn can only become awesome.
Sexiness for good erotic movies
Since it is not exactly advantageous to be seen in worn underwear, a few new garments, perhaps also lingerie, should be bought in advance.
Not only does this look better in the movie, but you will also feel much sexier and more confident while shooting porn.
Good preparation: everything should be at hand
If you decide to use sex toys, lubricants or other aids or condoms, make sure that these things are always at hand so that the shooting does not have to be interrupted.
Be self-confident even without initial experiences
The most important thing is that you are not afraid of the camera. Even if it will be unusual at first that you will be filmed during sex, you should not let yourself be noticed, as cramping in front of the camera does not go down well.
It’s best to be as boisterous and as wild as possible and just hide the camera during sex.
Avoid complicated content
Avoid complicated content such as too long dialogue while shooting porn. Instead, focus on the essentials: hot sex.
The sex positions during the shoot
An important point for porn are the sex positions. These should best be agreed in advance, as this does not lead to misunderstandings.
In the best case, at least three positions are executed. These should possibly be favorite positions, as you can be so sure that you master them and you know that you will really get going with them.
Variety is very important when watching porn. For example, some people love the equestrian position, others want to see the 69 position and still others appreciate the missionary position.
In any case, I recommend that you always start with foreplay when shooting porn yourself. This always includes oral sex (i.e. the cunnilingus or the blowjob).
Trust from the couple is essential
Since a sex movie is something very personal, it should be ensured that the partners trust each other.
Because if this trust is not there and you are afraid that the partner could use the film against you, or upload it to a website without permission, then it is better if the shooting is waived.
However, if there is mutual trust and you have no concerns, then nothing stands in the way of the film.
Is it really wanted?
The most important question, however, is whether the shooting of porn is really wanted or whether it is just a whim you have in your mind.
Because one thing has to be considered, a private porn is daring and not everyone can cope with it. Also, the risk is very high that you could find yourself embarrassed during sex.
Because also the face during sex can then be seen in the private video.
While the man can usually cope with such things well, most women have big problems with these things and depression could be triggered by it.
In this case, the private should be deleted in any case. Preferably in front of the other person.
How to start shooting porn
The biggest hurdle will be the beginning, because most don’t know how to start. It is best to orient yourself to an already familiar situation.
For example, a sex fantasy can be remade. Or you use an everyday situation. Because this scenery is already known and you will feel much more comfortable.
There is also the possibility that you sit down together before shooting porn and exchange your fantasies, so you know each other what to do and you are already a little teased, which makes the shoot a lot easier.
But it is important to start first. If the result is not so good, that’s no problem! As Voltaire used to say: “Perfect is the enemy of the good“.
That means: don’t be a perfectionist. Start with the equipment you have and your skills. You can still improve.
The film post-processing
Depending on how professional you want your film to be, you should edit it afterwards. For example, the different scenes can be cut together or certain places out.
There is various software available for this. Professionals mostly use Adobe Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, or Final Cut Pro to cut the recording. For beginers, free tools such as Shotcut, Windows Movie Maker or OpenShot Video Editor are enough.
However, in order to be able to edit the film properly, some experience with editing programs is an advantage. However, you can easily teach yourself this know-how. After all, the best way to learn something is to simply do it.
Conclusion and alternatives to sex films
Even if at first glance the shooting of porn looks very complicated, it can definitely be valuable to pay attention to certain things in advance.
So in the end you are really satisfied with the result. Afterwards you can watch your joint film again, or upload it to the Internet and contact other people. But please dare, and film your first porn!
An interesting variant are live cam shows. You can perform alone or as a couple. The difference is that this show is not recorded, but watched in real time. By the way, you can earn more money with it, rather than with a film.
