Tips for a good video- Lighting
Thot I'd post this here, just for my own benefit, to get it out of my system. I see so many vids that could be good or great, but they're mediocre or bad, or worse, they just make you click on another vid. Also, I know a vid that needs work by my inner editor, lol. That is, if I start thinking about how the vid or pic could have been better, then it needs work. So here goes...
Lighting
Foundational to recording something visually for others to see is being able to see it. Thus the need for good lighting. Lighting must be bright enough for it to be recorded clearly. Get that word "recorded"? Yes, it's not enough for you to be able to see it. Our eyes are more sensitive than the most sophisticated cameras, so being able to see it yourself is no guarantee of a good image. I've received pics that are so dark, I just give up trying to figure out what it is, much less enjoying the pic. So throw some light on the subject!
That brings up "the subject", the main focus of your photo or vid. Decide what that is. Let's say it's a cock shot. So make sure the cock is front and center in the frame of the camera. Make sure it's well lit... AND, make sure the light is from the right angle. Huh? Your source of light should be from the front or the side. I don't wanna get too into that, just to get you to think about where your light's coming from. One thing you should avoid tho is light from the back of your subject.
Imagine this, you're watching a hot j/o vid. The guy's hot, nice abs and all, a nice thick bush (my preference, lol! ok, you can trim it! ;-)) cock to die for, and everything's framed up really nice. Now comes the cumshot and the first spurts erupt from the head and... disappear. What?! Yup, they disappear into the blinding white light coming through the window behind. Ever seen this? I have, too many times. Semen, or cum, is light-colored and will disappear into a bright background. Simple, but many don't think about it when filming and set up near a window cuz it's sunny outside and there's plenty of light. That's fine, just make sure the window isn't behind your subject. Turn yourself around and you'll be better off and I'll get hard instead of thinking about how you could have shot the scene better.
That's all for now!

But to answer one comment, there are some basic, standard "good practices" to follow that are universal and not subject to fads, trends or cultural tastes. It's those elements that I try to focus on.
