What is slow motion?

In general, the switching frequency of the film projector and the camera is synchronous, that is, 24 shots are taken every second, and 24 shots are also taken every second during the screening. At this time, the normal speed appears on the screen. If the photographer speeds up the shooting frequency, for example, 48 shots per second, then under the condition of still 24 shots per second, there will be slow motion on the screen, which is commonly known as "slow motion".

If the photographer speeds up the shooting frequency, for example, 48 shots per second, then under the condition of still 24 shots per second, there will be slow motion on the screen, which is commonly known as "slow motion". When the shooting frequency slows down to less than 24 frames per second, there will be a quick action on the screen during the screening, also called "snapshot".

Extended data:

In the movie Terminator, the first slow motion is that the cool Schwarzenegger stepped out of the elevator with a gun, and the camera was aimed at him, highlighting his coldness. The second slow motion shows Sarah's fear reaction (Sarah almost fell down to strengthen her fear).

The third slow motion is brought back to Schwarzenegger, a cool close-up of turning face, and this first-person close-up is exactly what Sarah saw, which strengthened the audience's sense of substitution.
