fps?

[LAmind]

What is the normal, real-time rate at which a movie is shot. So it' not all fast and not i any kind of slow-motion? I nver owned a film camera soi don't kno.

I used to think it was 24fps. But i see camers that only go up to 18 fps. Help

24 frames per second is the standard for most films.

You may have seen super8 camera's which often only go up to 18 fps.

This is because they were designed for home use, and they made a compromise between getting more minutes from your roll of film and screen flicker:

18fps is probably the slowest you can go without noticing jumps and flicker. And by using this a 50 foot super8 cartridge lasts a few seconds longer.

-FILM-
most films shot at 24fps, some people prefer to shoot at 25 makes it easier to transfer to tape

-DV-
here are some DV rates
dv pal - 25fps
dv ntsc - 30fps

For Super-8 film...shooting at 24 FPS then playing back at 24 FPS equals 2 minutes and 30 seconds...

Shooting at 18 FPS then playing back at 18 FPS equals 3 minutes and 20 seconds.

Or 24 FPS = 150 seconds, 18 FPS = 200 seconds per fifty foot cartridge.

In the U.S., Film transferred to NTSC video and Film Theartre Projection purposes, 24 FPS is considered the standard.
