Adult Video Production Guide - Cameras, Lighting & Audio

When you are setting up your adult content shoot, remember that time is money so have everything prepared and tested before your talent begins. You don’t want to pay people hourly to sit around while you test equipment and figure things out. Here are some steps to help you prepare for making adult content videos:

• Prepare the set. Get any props, adult toys, and set items you need set up for the shoot. Make sure the location is secure and ready, including furniture.

• Porn Script

  

  Its sex, so everything isnt always going to go to plan, but have one.

  Set up and test equipment ahead of time. Have a list of all audio visual equipment that needs to be on set in working condition and charged if needed with all the accessories. Get your lighting set up and make sure it’s bright enough without casting heavy shadows. Test your audio equipment and do a trial shoot to make sure the sound is the right level and lighting looks clear and fills the room evenly. Having everything ready will save you money so you won’t be paying people to sit around while you fumble with equipment. We will go over more on equipment later.

• Go over the script

  

  Get the talent, camera and sound people in sync.

  Have a script. Even if the plan is to make the scene as natural as possible, you still have to have a script so that everyone knows what is expected of them. The script should include a list of dialog, positions, and camera shots required for the project.
• Have your style vision. Know what your final product is going to look like in terms of style. If you’re going for an amateur look, there’s no point in fancy equipment, but this doesn’t mean you need to make a low-quality video that has poor lighting or other issues.
• Know the angles. Your stories need to be in sequence and you have to be prepared to shoot the things you want at the angle you need. This will dictate the type and quality of the camera you use and how many shots you need.

• Take Charge

  

  Know what your doing and be confident

  Outline your plans for talent. How many people do you need and who will be doing what? Clarify who and what you need from your talent so you can prepare for a smooth shoot making adult content videos. Establish set rules, including who can talk, who can be on scene, who arrives when, and who leaves when. This is important because if people don’t know when they’re expected to do things, you will waste a lot of time with interruptions while shooting. Make sure everyone knows the director is in charge during the shoot.

• Hair and Make up

  

  Money well spent, find a make up artist you trust.

  Make sure personnel are ready. Everyone needs to sign legal paperwork and sign in to work. Each person should have their wardrobe and makeup ready. You’ll want to have a place for talent to change and keep their things while shooting as well as an area for doing makeup and hair.
• Do a scene walkthrough. Go through the scenes and requirements with your personnel before shooting.

Once you have your set ready and your talent arrives, it’s time to start shooting and making adult content. Here is a checklist of things to help you during your shoot:

• Quiet on the Set

  

  Weird noises can ruin a shot so make sure the entire set is quiet.

  Audio syncing. Make sure the audio matches the scene and does not have any unnecessary dialogue.

• Adult Content shooting

  

  Adult Content shooting

  Secure files. Make sure all files are secure and anything related to the securing of the source media is done.

• Time Management

  

  Planning ahead can save you money in the end since you will probably have hourly talent.

  Keep talent on track. Make sure everyone follows the set rules and only those who are required for each scene are on set. There are rules about who can be on the scene and it’s important to stick to these rules.

• Work till the end

  Pay attention to time. If you’re hiring contract workers and paying hourly, you need to be especially mindful of time and work as efficiently as possible to save your bottom line.
• Shoot the entire scene. Be ready to film for the time that it will take to get the scenes done.
• Keep the audience in mind. Know your target audience and what shots they want. What resolution do they need and how do you want the final videos to look? Keep these things in mind as you’re making adult content.

Congratulations, you just finished shooting your porn video! Now you may be wondering what to do next. First, take care of personnel and make sure they’ve filled out all paperwork before allowing them to change and leave securely.

Next, clean up the set. Return any rented property or equipment and make sure they’re in good condition. Clean the floors and furniture and take down equipment and lighting.
