Hello everyone! My first post on this forum. I’m still very new to the world of vloggin, and I’m learning as I go. There is one thing I have been struggling with...
Other vloggers seem to be very organized when they shoot, they know the footage they’re gonna get, and they plan it all out. I’m not there yet, and with the type of vlogging we are doing (travel vlogs) it’s hard to plan things out. My struggle is with what frame rate to shoot in. I understand how important it is to get that “cinematic“ look, by shooting at 24fps and a shutter speed of 1/48. My most recent batch of uploads were mostly done that way, and they turned out okay.
Its the slow motion I’m struggling with. I don’t always know if I want to shoot slo mo or not, and many pieces of footage I shot I wished I had shot them in slo mo (60 or 120 fp). Now, I could shoot ALL my footage at 60fps or 120fps, but that takes up a lot more storage space and you lose that cinematic look as there’s no natural motion blur.
for those of you that do use cinematic slow motion in your videos, is there something I can do to get over this, or do I just simply need to choose to shoot my normal footage at 24fps and shoot separate slo mo at a higher frame rate? I thought of shooting everything at 60fps with a shutter speed of 1/120 and dropping it in a 24fps edit in FCPX. But what would the footage look like? Would it still look choppy because of the dropped frames?
Thanks to anyone that can give me advice!
