If you're shooting anything to look cinematic, stick to 24p. 30p footage definitely looks like video during playback. 24 looks better most of the time. However, if you plan to slow down the footage, then you'll want to shoot 60 or higher but only if you can get the appropriate shutter speed. I.E. for a 180 degree shutter, you'll want the shutter speed to be 1/(fps x2). For example, for 24p, you'll want to shoot at 1/48 of a sec or as close to it as possible. If you're shooting a scene with low amounts of motion, you can get away with 1/40 sec SS, but any large moves will start to look blurry. Anything faster than 1/48 will start to have that Saving Private Ryan fight scene look with no motion blur making everything look hyper real.
More examples of 180 degree settings
60 fps = 1/120 SS
120 fps = 1/240 SS
Regarding resolution, 4K is great if you can handle the workflow and can get the fps that you want. As others said, it's also good for the future if you plan to store your footage and reuse it at a later date and not reshoot (some footage is best reshot if you get a new camera down the line) but some footage just can't be reshot like specific events. 4K footage takes up a lot of space, so this will have to be your call if you are running a studio or have space limitations. 4K also looks better even downconverted to 1080p. But I would pay close attention to the fps/shutter speed as that will quickly ruin your footage if you are shooting outdoors without neutral density filters to keep the SS where it needs to be. |
