SLOW MOTION

 Slow motion is a cinematic technique that involves capturing motion at a higher frame rate than the playback rate, resulting in a slowed-down, smoother, and more dramatic visual effect. In other words, slow motion footage captures more frames per second than usual, so when played back at the normal frame rate, the footage appears to be moving in slow motion.

When played in slow motion, even the smallest movements become more noticeable and can evoke a sense of elegance, beauty, or power. Slow motion is commonly used in sports events, action movies, music videos, and nature documentaries to highlight moments of impact, emotion, or intensity.

In order to achieve slow motion, a camera capable of recording at high frame rates is required. For example, while most standard video cameras record at 24 or 30 frames per second, a camera capable of recording at 120 frames per second can be used to produce slow-motion footage that is four times slower than real life.

The resulting slow-motion footage can be edited and adjusted to further enhance the visual effect. This may include adding music, sound effects, or other post-production techniques to further emphasize the impact of the slowed-down motion.
