7 Tips For Aspiring Gay Porn Producers

1. Plan your shoot before hand; never wing it. Create outlines, shooting scripts, storyboards and/or anything else that will help you keep the production or shoot on track.

It will depend on the subject matter and the complexity of the project of course, but the more prepared you are before you shoot the better things will go on set or location.

2. Learn how to properly use all the equipment that you’ll be using. If you have a crew; they have to know exactly how to use the equipment.

3. Learn how to frame and compose a picture. Better composition produces better, more professional shots or videos that are more vibrant and full. Things like lighting equipment should never be seen on screen. On a related note, learn how to keep the camera steady.

4. Learn how to use both natural and artificial light to light your scenes properly whether you’re on set or location. Learning and applying a few simple tricks of the trade, you can avoid harsh glares, dark shadows that obscure action and correct poor color balance.

5. Learn how to properly mic a scene so that you can avoid background noise and properly capture any sounds and dialogue that you do want.

6. Make sure that all of your models/cast and crew observe simple set etiquette. This would include absolute silence when the cameras are rolling. We shouldn’t be hearing any cell phones or people making comments in the background.

7. Direct your models, don’t just let them do whatever they want. It’s not their video or photo shoot; it yours and you have to be satisfied with the end results.

Where can you find out about these subjects? Try reading a book or two; go to amazon.com there’s been thousands of books written on these subjects and skills.

You can also see if your local community college has any mini video production and photography courses.

Experiment and shoot constantly. Apply these tips and profit from them.
