Close ups or fullview shots?

[Cathy fan]

Which do you prefer and why? Iam intrigued following replies to my recent posting about Pumpkin Films.

I'd have to go for full shots too, especially with a nice reverse cowgirl...

Favour full body shots although of course there are times the close up shot is relevant in a movie. A cum shot filmed from 6 feet away would lose a lot of it's impact, in that case you would need the womans reactions in close up.
I for one want to see the "whole package", every inch of her body yet the to experience from afar what she is feeling, that has to be done with shots showing her expressions, the way her body moves, simple things like her hair waving/bouncing and muscles flexing in her body all of which are lost when you get extended shots of just penetration.
Basically the more you see of the woman/actress the easier the personality can come across, it's no fun watching a woman perform who obviously isn't really into the scene and I've always thought focusing too much on close up penetrative shots is an attempt to hide the fact.

Of course I could be way off the mark and it's all down to the personal taste/beliefs of the director and or performer:)

I couldn't have put it better myself, Mike C. Completely agree.

P.S You've obviously given it some thought Mike!Very eloquent.

This is exactly what I think. Porn seems quite simple. Why do we still have soooooo many close ups?
