I'll shoot this then I'll shoot this and edit the story along with the photography so there is a flow that flows character movements and story lines.
there is no real story or character development in porn. trying to create story with camera angles is a non starter. now were you to add 'tension' in the dialog before the sex stuff then you would need to work the lens to really turn up the tension....
example: my husband doesn't have sex with me anymore... 'the listener will pay attention' so you tease the 'admission with an insert close, up skirt shot with the guy in the back ground trying to see while he considers the ramifications of 'my husband doesn't have sex with me anymore' but it would even better to come up with tantalizing dialog that is a bit hostile and strange, to grab the interest of the listener.
my husband told me my pussy is ugly and he won't fuck me unless -----. then the dialog can really twist and story tell with the selected shots to push the agenda.. see?
otherwise just sick the camera up in the corner 'fly on the wall' style and let the viewers watch with out distracting camera work that adds nothing to the situation, other than close ups etc..

I am humbled and grateful that you took the time to offer some very insightful critique. I very much appreciate it, thank you.
Now that it has been brought to my attention, I can see your point about the camera angle not being inline with eye level. You are also correct in your assessment that I just stood, pointed the camera and began shooting. I was concerned that if I stooped over to be in line with the models eyes that I wouldn't be able to hold the camera steady by the time the scene ended. I was worried that I would end up with too much shaky footage.
If the stabilization on your camera isn't very good, would using a single stick solve the problem do you think?
I really like the idea of using dialog that's tantalizing, strange and just a little hostile to rope the viewer in. Most fetish content does need the models to carry the scene through dialog and their acting performance.
When I wrote the script I was going for humor, I personally enjoy porn that has a little levity in it. My personal preference is for content that is either so intense that it's almost palpable, or that it's a little quirky and so unique that it makes one want to laugh.
That's kind of what I was going for with this one. I wanted it to be humorous yet still contain elements that cross over into the bdsm realm. Like a violet wand electro shock insertion scene and therapeutic nipple clamps.
