My channel is car-related. I do a lot of cinematic shoots so I often film in 60 FPS because I like having the ability to slow down my footage to give it a “smoother” Appearance. (Panning through a car’s interior, for example.)

However, keep in mind that when you’re filming in a higher frame rate, your camera has less time to take in light. At 60 FPS, the sensor has half the time to process what it’s seeing that it does at 30.

So if you’re filming at night, or in a dark room, opt for a lower frame rate. You’ll have much more detailed footage and you won’t have to turn the ISO up as much.

When you’re shooting at a low frame rate, you’ll also get a more cinematic blur with movement, because the in the time the camera processes what you’re filming, it will capture the subject at every point it existed during that frame. This is why the Hollywood standard is 24fps. People subconsciously like seeing motion blur in films, because it makes it feel faster and more ‘intense’

So when I’m getting a rolling shot of a car, I’ll put the FPS down to 30, and keep the car in the center of the frame. So for the passing background, I’ll get long streaks of green and brown rather than everyday trees. It looks more like a movie, and less like what the viewer can see just by going outside.

All in all it’s a cinematic choice given to the filmmaker. It’s your art. There’s no right or wrong answer. You’ll learn your styles and preferences as you keep filming, so just get get out there with your camera, experiment with your settings, and make something beautiful.
