I have heard that porn is paid per scene. So for example a so called "Boy/Girl Scene" (means 1 man and 1 woman have sex) costs XXX $.
But if you look at "Behind of scenes" or ask people, the complexity of the creation can be quite different. So there are studios which produce the scene in a nearly movie-like context and also with a lot of makeup.
So first a complex makeup is applied, then there is a prelude filmed in a city where the actors meet randomly (well of course it's acting), then they sit in a coffee and that is filmed, then they go in a hotel and so on. The "Blacked/Vixen" sites for example make it often that complex. All in all, producing the scene needs hours or even nearly day.
Then there are scenes where the girl just comes in a hotel room and a quick POV scene is filmed. Not even much makeup is applied. Everything is done in 1-2 hours.
...... But as i have heard, both costs the same? Is that true? Something that is done in an hour costs the same than something that is done in a full day?
PS:
How much costs a simple Boy Girl scene or a even things like gangbang etc nowadays ?
