Ever notice the dreamy quality of a British sitcom? How about the “shellshock” look used in war movies? And we’re all familiar with the look of an amateur home video, which can be…surreal. Believe it or not, these effects are created in the camera’s shutter speed, and very rarely in post-production.
So what’ll it be? Fast, jittery frame rates, or the usual slo-mo Matrix ripoff?

I’ve heard it called “shutter angle” rather than “shutter speed.”
I think some video cameras call it “shutter speed” because they expect the user to be familiar with still cameras. But on a motion picture camera, there’s a technical difference between shutter speed and shutter angle. Basically, shutter angle is independent of the frame rate, while shutter speed is dependent upon the frame rate.
