Shooting in 24P
Shooting in 24P is one way to get that allusive film style look to your projects and to your videos.
The look of the film in the movies that we grew up with, after and lead us with the impression that we need to have a big time budget to recreate the same look that only film offers which is synonymous with quality, large budget productions. 24P refers to the frame rate used for film. The film uses 24 frames per second while nowadays is a Tipco HD camera shoots at 30 frames per second or more accurately 29.97 frames per second. The standard definition, video record’s at 60 interlaced fields that combined to make 30 frames per second. Each field can contain unique picture information if the camera or subject is moving. This gives the video a very smooth in look. Film on the other hand records a new image 24 times a second, giving at a slightly choppier effect. Many of the newer HD camcorders of a variable recording rates such as 24, 30 and none interlaced or progressive frames per second. Using a setting of 24 or 30P will help make your video look more like film.
24 frames per second will show us an originally because film is expensive and that’s absolute lowest frame rate possible to use and still have some resemblance of fluid motion to the eye. The less frame per second, the less film you use and the more money you would end up saving. When the first motion pictures were synchronized sound or introduced in the late 1920’s, a constant speed was required for the sound head. 24 frames per second was chosen because it was a slowest speed which allowed the proper sound quality.
When shooting fight scenes, major motion pictures generally used the lower frame rate such as 22 frames per second and then later play it back at 24P, which speeds up the footage and makes it look like the action is happening much faster.
Recreating that film with can be achieved in a couple of different ways. The first of which, is by creating a shallow depth of filled just like you get when the shooting with the 35 millimeter camera. You can accomplish this effect by zooming in or an object or subject. You’re going the one to zoom it all the way or as close to the subject as possible. Then you’re going to go want to open up the iris. This affectively the crisis the depth of the video. You can also invest in a 35-millimeter lens adaptor. These devices attached to the front of your camcorder and allow you to use a 35-millimeter steel photography lens to capture your image. Giving you much greater control over the death of filled.
Another factor to keep track of them, if you want your video to look more like film is adjusting the shutter speed. You’re going to want to one and double the speed of the frame rate in the shutter. So when you want to shoot that 24 frames per second, you’re going to want to adjust your shutter speed to 148 or 160 as for shooting at 30 frames per second. The reasoning behind doubling up the shutter speed is to decrease motion bladder, which brings us to some things to look out for when shooting in 24 P.
When shooting with the lower frame rate, fast camera motion contain the blur or strove the video. Creating one is known as the Judder, for example, the key is to plan out your shoot accordingly and always move the some sort of camera support to assist you creating smooth movement. You want to take any pens until it's nice and slow to keep the illusion of motion.
Nowadays, even most consumer level none leader-editing programs come with various filters and effects which attempt to replicate the film look. Some are better than others. Generally they’re all focus on the interlacing your interlaced footage. In our art officially adding some green and adjusting the gama of your video. However the point is, that it is now possible to create very clean and professional looking film like video through a little customization from the camcorder or in the postproduction process.
Replicating that film style look cannot touch the professional into our projects. Shooting in 24P encourages all of us to be us creative as we can be.
