Which scenario will result in slow motion?

• A. shoot at 24 fps; project at 24 fps
• B. shoot at 48 fps; project at 24 fps
• C. shoot at 24 fps; project at 48 fps
• D. shoot at 60 fps; project at 30 fps

Answer: (B)

Slow motion happens when you record more frames per second than you play back. You end up with more frames of action than can be shown in real time, so playback stretches the action over more time. In this case, you’re filming at 48 frames per second but displaying at 24 frames per second. For every real second of action, you’ve captured 48 frames, but you only show 24 frames each second, so those 48 frames take two seconds to display. The result is slowed motion. If you shoot and project at the same rate, motion appears normal. If you project at a higher rate than you shoot, motion appears faster.
