Specific shutter speed for 'film look'?

[nadalpiantini]

I think i have read this topic somewhere, but i just couldn't find it again.
24fps is the best frame rate for film look...ok...
but how the shutter speed affects this look?
is there a specific shutter speed that helps the film look or just left it to the default speed? 1/24? 1/60?

The default "film" shutter speed would be 1/48th or 180 degrees (same).

You will probably find 1/60th to be too 'stucatto' and 1/24 to be too blurry.

If you want more motion blur, go for 200-220 degrees, which is what I use most of the time. Some people feel this is more filmic than the standard 180 degrees, others feel it is too blurry.

Most importantly, use shutter speed as part of the creative process of capturing your vision...Higher shutter speed can look more 'aggressive' (except when overcranking, then it looks more 'clean')...Lower shutter speed can look more 'gentle', almost 'sedated'.


Experiment and see what you like, Film-like-ness is completely subjective.
