The default is 1/48 for 24p.

So, basically, the director didn't know what he was talking about.

Changing the shutter speed won't affect the "filmlike" qualities as much as framerate. Different looks, yes. But different film looks.

1/48, 1/50 in pal mode is what you should always shoot in. Think about an SLR camera. Anything below 1/60th of 1/50th is going to give you motion stutter.

I prefer 48... 24 seems to have more of a documentary quality in my opinion. ofcourse you need more light, but I like the results better at 48.
