FPS for an action scene?

[MikeyDProductions]

I usually use 24fps for ALL scenes of a film and edit in 30fps, but just wanted to know what others would recommend for an action scene.

Why do you shoot at one rate and edit in another? You're usually better off keeping it consistent.

It depends. I like action scenes that are filmed at 60fps, but it's a matter of opinion really. I don't like it too choppy when it comes to fast fight scenes, I like it to feel smooth and fast paced. It's all up to you though.

I too am curious why you shoot 24fps and edit in 30fps. Im guessing you're doing it on purpose, maybe for a very minimal slow down of playback..

Experiment. Also try experimenting with the shutter speed, faster speeds could give you that really edgy/intense look.
