If you want to film yourself having sex, now is the time. Filming has never been easier, and you can share it with the public with a click of your mouse.
Here are four tips to make sure your home movie gets top ratings.
Tip #1: Get Set Up
You don’t need a whole lot to film yourself having sex. Even if you don’t own a video camera, chances are that one of your electronic gadgets can record video, like your digital camera or the webcam on your PC.
But before you push the Record button, it might pay to consider whether you want to leave the camera running while you get on with business, or whether you want to hold it yourself for extreme closeups.
If you’re using a webcam, position the monitor so that you can watch what’s being recorded. Often, a position or angle that feels awesome doesn’t look that awesome from the viewpoint of the lens. Sex that appears blasé from a distance can look more exciting if you zoom in, so experiment with different settings.
If you want to hold the camera yourself, try to keep your hand as steady as possible. Many cameras have an anti-shake feature that will smooth out any sudden movements.
Lastly, consider lighting. There is a lot of unwatchable amateur porn out there that would have been great if you could actually SEE what was going on. Although it may be fun to have sex in the dark, don’t switch the lights off if you want to film yourselves. Experiment with directional lighting (like a desk lamp), natural lighting, and overhead lighting to see which works the best. And, if you find that your video has a yellowish cast, check out the white balance setting.
Tip #2: Perform with Pleasure
Videotaping yourself is supposed to be sexy, not stressful. Don’t put any pressure on yourself to act like a porn star. Because, let’s face it, you’re not a professional. No one wants to see you act like a professional. They want to see REAL people do it, so be your real self. Do it like you’d do it if the camera wasn’t there.
Role-playing, dressing up, or using props and toys can all make a video hotter. More importantly, though, just focus on being relaxed, enthusiastic, and really “into it.” You might even like to watch a sex instructional video for advice!
Tip #3: Edit, Edit, Edit
I know – you just want to press the Stop button and watch the whole thing through and marvel at what a genius act of filmmaking you’ve performed.
But genius filmmakers know that filming is just the beginning. The editing process is what takes a movie from boring to dynamite.
If you really want to make a home movie that stands the test of time, run it through a quick edit. Most new computers will have video editing software pre-installed. If you’re running Microsoft Windows XP, for example, you should have Windows Movie Maker already installed. If you’ve got a Mac, iMovie is the bomb. Then there’s a host of other free programs, such as Zwei-Stein, Virtual Dub and Jump Cut.
Don’t be afraid to cut out most of what you’ve filmed and keep only the best scenes. Watch your edited film with a porn connoisseur’s eye. Does this catch your attention from the get-go? Does it keep you interested?
Tip #4: Keep It or Share It?
Most homemade porn is filmed only for the viewing pleasure of the two people involved – unless, of course, you break up and your ex puts it online.
If you’re concerned in any way about your private film getting out, be very careful about saving it. It might be better to enjoy watching it a time or two, then delete it, rather than risk it getting into the wrong hands.
But if you get your kicks by having an audience, there are dozens of websites who’ll snap up your digital movie in an instant.
Just make sure that your partner is as happy about it being online as you are. Never upload any homemade porn without all participants’ consent – not even to get revenge on an ex.
And, for goodness sakes, whatever you do, do NOT include any identifying details, like your real name or where you’re from. You don’t want a prospective employer Googling you and finding an amateur video starring you with your pants down.
With that said, let the cameras roll! And whilst you’re still here, here is a link to an ezine article about what to look our for when buying a sex instructional video for you and your partner.
