The <strong>slow motion<\/strong> trend has only increased in recent years as the demand for overcranked footage has gone up, and more cameras than ever now have <strong>slow-mo capabilities<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, capturing perfect <strong>slow motion footage<\/strong> takes a lot more effort than just changing your frame rate in camera. So if you\u2019re considering <strong>shooting slow motion<\/strong> on your next project and don\u2019t yet have much experience in this area, be very careful not to make any of the common mistakes listed below.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"1-failing-to-adjust-shutter-speed\">1.

Much like shooting at any other frame rate, the <strong>180-degree shutter rule<\/strong> applies here \u2014 meaning your shutter speed needs to be double that of your frame rate. Many filmmakers forget to switch their shutter speed from 1\/50 (when shooting 24p) to a higher setting (such as 1\/125 when shooting 60p) and wind up with unusable footage. When this type of improperly shot <strong>slow motion footage<\/strong> is played back at regular speed, it will have <strong>a strange slow-shutter ghosting effect<\/strong> that will certainly make you want to scrap those clips in the editing room.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"2-not-bringing-enough-light\">2.

This means that the lighting kit you have on set that might be good enough for your interior night-time scenes at 24p won\u2019t necessarily be strong enough for your 120fps footage. It\u2019s crucial that you plan diligently before any<strong> slow motion shoot<\/strong> so that you\u2019re aware of your lighting requirements \u2014 otherwise you may end up with severely underexposed footage.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"3-light-flicker\">3.

Some types of lights (such as lower-quality LED panels) have a tendency to flicker, and<strong> this flicker effect can become very pronounced when slowed down<\/strong>. I\u2019ve personally been burned by this once myself, and quickly learned to always record a test clip when lighting my scenes to ensure that the lights and\/or power sources being used aren\u2019t causing any flicker issues.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"4-overcranking-too-much\">4.

But just because your camera can shoot at 240fps, doesn\u2019t mean you <em>should<\/em> shoot at such a high frame rate. This type of <strong>ultra slow motion footage<\/strong> can look very cool, and certainly has its place in the filmmaking world \u2014 but it\u2019s a very extreme look, and one that\u2019s probably not suitable for most projects.<\/p>\n<p>And while you might be thinking that you can always adjust the speed in post so that your 240fps footage isn\u2019t slowed down so dramatically, this won\u2019t always work. Assuming you\u2019ve followed the 180-degree shutter rule, your shots won\u2019t look right from a technical perspective unless they\u2019re slowed all the way down \u2014 so always <strong>choose your frame rates purposefully.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"5-overusing-slow-motion-in-the-edit\">5.
