Dive in and learn to use it.<\/h2>\n<p>Let\u2019s face it, slow motion is cool. There\u2019s just something undeniably awesome about the slowing down of time. Whether it\u2019s in a giant action sequence on an IMAX screen, or in the tiny moments of your favorite YouTube series on a smartphone, the effect of slow motion seems to always work and delight audiences of any size.<\/p>\n<p>However, shooting slow motion footage can obviously be quite tricky, as it requires both the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/6-affordable-slow-motion-cameras\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">right equipment<\/a> and a solid knowledge base into how slow motion \u2014 or high <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/beginners-guide-to-frame-rates\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">frame rate<\/a> \u2014 videography must be conducted to look good.<\/p>\n<p>So, while there are plenty of tips and tricks to read up on for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/5-things-to-consider-before-shooting-slow-motion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">how to shoot slow motion<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/high-frame-rate-video-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">high frame rate<\/a>, we\u2019re actually going to dive more into the theory of slow motion and the different ways you might want to utilize it in your film and video projects. Let\u2019s get started!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"slow-motion-for-action-and-stunts\">Slow Motion for Action and Stunts<\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KtA3Wp8eNgA?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>When one thinks of slow motion in film, their mind probably goes straight to the big-budget blockbusters and spectacular stunt sequences that happen with high stakes and in slow motion. And, that\u2019s certainly true as slow motion is a signature look contained within these big-budget sequences. As you can see in the video demonstration above, slow motion is a great tool to make these quick actions seem dangerous and dramatic, as the audience really gets more of a chance to appreciate what\u2019s going on.<\/p>\n<p>However, actually shooting slow motion for action and stunts is perhaps one of the most technically challenging feats on any production and, in part, why we see them more often in the biggest of big-budget films versus indie features and DIY shorts. It\u2019s important to keep in mind both safety and practicality when tackling slow motion for stunts, as you\u2019ll need to be in control of every element of the situation to make sure your camera is properly framed, focused, and recording the exact high frame rate moves that you\u2019ve carefully and meticulously planned.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d like to explore more about this type of slow motion videography, check out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCUK0HBIBWgM2c4vsPhkYY4w\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">The Slow Mo Guys<\/a> channel, then read more from these helpful articles on stunt choreography and safety.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/low-budget-film-video-stunt-coordination\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Production Tips: Getting Started with Low-Budget Stunt Coordination<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/choreographing-fight-scene-hollywood\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Choreographing A Fight Scene With A Hollywood Stuntman<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/capture-stunts-safely-with-long-lens\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">How to Capture Professional-Grade Stunts Safely with a Long Lens<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/production-tips-conceal-stunt-double\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Production Tips: How to Maintain the Stunt Double Illusion<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/resources-for-creating-realistic-battle-scenes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">5 Tips and Resources for Creating Realistic Battle Scenes<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"slow-motion-to-highlight-cinematic-moments\">Slow Motion to Highlight Cinematic Moments<\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XawA7O46yJM?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>After high-octane slow-motion stunts, the second most common use of slow motion in film and video is to simply highlight cinematic moments and to add another level of emotional significance.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve picked out the above montage of slow motion shots from filmmaker <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/stylize-cinematography-like-wes-anderson\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Wes Anderson<\/a>\u2019s filmography \u2014 a perfect example of how to use slow motion for dramatic effect. In fact, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0027572\/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Anderson<\/a> has even developed his own signature slow motion style, using this one specific type of shot as a climactic ending shot to almost every one of his films.<\/p>\n<p>To make things even more cinematic, so to speak, these scenes all have in common the fact that they start in real time and slow down into slow motion, and they&#8217;re all shot on film. Achieving this truly cinematic look actually requires a complex film procedure referred to as \u201covercranking,\u201d where a shot that begins at 24fps is manually \u201ccranked\u201d up to 60fps or higher.<\/p>\n<p>The overall effect is quite pleasing to the eye. You can actually cheat this technique when shooting digitally by recording throughout at the higher frame rate, then going into the edit to drop frames so that a clip can begin in 24fps. Of course, the overall look might not appear just as \u201ccinematic\u201d as it does in the examples above.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"slow-motion-to-draw-attention-to-details\">Slow Motion to Draw Attention to Details<\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/echK0RhFKcQ?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Another way that slow motion can be used in your projects is a small (but crucial) way to highlight certain details or draw attention to specific moments or actions. It can be subtle, but you\u2019ll actually find this technique used in more films and shows than you might think. Just because our world moves in real time \u2014 and is recorded in as close to real time as possible \u2014 doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t cheat that in the edit.<\/p>\n<p>Some examples would be a small glance from one character to the next, prolonging the movements for the passing of a note or a weapon, or slowing down time to show a character noticing a sign or a poster on a wall.<\/p>\n<p>These tiny moments might play slower in the script or in the scene, but in case the coverage is lacking or if the necessary information isn\u2019t connecting with the audience, slow motion can be a quick fix.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"slow-motion-for-sports\">Slow Motion for Sports<\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/guZ5AxQ6xb0?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the most obvious place that you\u2019ll find slow motion in film and entertainment is in sports. They, of course, use plenty of slow motion in the broadcast and highlights of actual sports games and programs, but I\u2019m talking about in the film and television recreations of sports.<\/p>\n<p>Form follows function. So, if you want to accurately portray sports in your film projects, being able to use slow motion when appropriate is absolutely necessary. It\u2019s also a perfect way to make the hits land that much harder and the moments last that much longer. I bet whatever your favorite sports movie was growing up made heavy use of slow motion to help give scenes more depth and add more context to the actions.<\/p>\n<p>However, unless you\u2019re shooting your project on a <a href=\"https:\/\/fstoppers.com\/education\/fascinating-look-television-production-cameras-307611\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">top-of-the-line live sports camera<\/a>, you\u2019re going to face plenty of challenges when attempting to get good slow motion coverage. Sports slow motion is usually a mix of tight close-ups (for intricate actions like the hitting of a ball) and wide, convoluted shots (showcasing the energy and impact of hits and goals).

You can see several examples of slow-to-fast (and vice versa) shots in everything from the latest Marvel films to your favorite adventure franchises.<\/p>\n<p>In many ways, slow motion for cinema-sake has become synonymous with this new style, as digital editing has made techniques like speed ramping easier to use and more precise to control. If you\u2019re looking to add slow motion or fast motion in your projects today, your best bet might just be to get a solid HFR camera, shoot at 120fps (if possible), and then make all your slow motion and speed ramping decisions in the edit once you have everything planned and covered.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Here are some detailed articles that go into speed ramping on different NLE platforms \u2014 like Adobe Premiere Pro and Final Cut X \u2014 as well as additional advanced tips and tricks for these techniques.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"post-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/alter-the-flow-of-time-with-speed-ramping\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Alter the Flow of Time With Speed Ramping!<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"post-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/3-approaches-for-time-remapping-in-adobe-premiere-pro\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">3 Approaches for Time-Remapping in Adobe Premiere Pro<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"post-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/sbt\/speed-ramp-final-cut-pro-x\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">How to Speed Ramp in Final Cut Pro X \u2013 Speed Up Footage<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"post-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/tutorial-audio-ramp-up-transition\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">The Audio Ramp-Up: The Best Transition You Should Be Using<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"post-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/vt\/speed-ramp-with-premiere-pro-instead-of-after-effects\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Speed Ramp with Premiere Pro Instead of After Effects<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>Cover image from<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0838221\/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">The Darjeeling Limited<\/a> <em>via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchlightpictures.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Fox Searchlight<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s how you can expertly use slow motion and high frame rate in your film and video projects.
