This may seem like and odd question but have you ever seen a script for a p*rn movie? I just started wondering when they make that kind of film do they reallyuse a script? I know  its a really odd question, but i'm just wondering.  

Yes they do use a script,but unlike a real screenplay, it's filled with less story (although some have well thought out storys) and more direction as to what the actors should be doing.


it might look  like this


action>action>action>action>action>bulid-up>money shot.


than again i could be wrong.

Scripts for today's adult movies are only a couple of pages long as ninety percent of the movie is sex.  Twenty years and thirty years ago, the scripts were much longer because they actually had stories and some character development to them.

I imagine the script would depend on what kind of porn you're dealing with. Soft core will have more story than hard core. Hard core will probably have more of a scenario script, like silent movies had, since they are almost 100% action with the only plot being "My, it's hot in this kitchen."

Soft core, on the other hand, has more story and development because it's more or less a movie extended with sex scenes. Kind of works like old musicals did. At the height of Rodgers & Hammerstein, the formula was scene-song-change. With soft core, it's scene-sex-change.

The real question is: Does anybody really aspire to write porn movies? I doubt it. I imagine most porn screenwriters are either A)not writers at all, just some producer who managed to string some words together or B)failed writers who tried writing mainstream stuff but didn't have the skill or talent to get any kind of attention. It has to be one or the other.

I would tend to agree with that. Porn really isn't a genre of writing, but more or less for a certain part of society who finds it necessary to live vicariously through their TV screen, to put it as nice as possible. While everyone tends to watch some movies vicariously, making love through a movie is kind of self defeating.

I wrote porn a few years back because was easy money.  When someone offers you $100 for each 'Dear Editor, I thought the letters in your magazine were fake until this happened to me' letter they buy from you, it's hard to pass up.


Phil

Hey, why pass up the easy money? Not that I'd admit the job on a resume or anything... I don't know that I'd even want a copy. Yes, honey, daddy wrote porn. Maybe not...

I apologize Phil, I overlooked C)Good writers who are in it for a quick, easy buck. Nothing wrong with that.

No offense, but I hope i never have to write an adult flm. But I doubt that it would be too hard..
