Why films are shot in 24FPS

When you start out filmmaking, this is probably one of the first questions you have. We’re told that you set the camera settings to 24fps, a 1/48 or 180-degree shutter angle, and to experiment with the rest.

But why have we decided as filmmakers, to stay with 24fps? Well, in today’s video, I want to briefly look at the history of frame rates, why we use 24 frames per second, and why we haven’t switched to 30, 60, or even, 120.

As always if you have a recommendation for an analysis, let me know below!
