- Use 24 fps (N…?; technically 23.976) or 25 for UK (PAL)
- set shutter speed to double the frame rate (e.g. 1/50 for 25 fps)
- Note: video frames are blurry (intentionally; tack-sharp stills look jerky during playback)
- Use f2.8 - f4 for most shots
- use a variable ND filter for daytime shooting - compensate for the abundant natural light
- backlight the subject
- stick to fixed focal lengths, even with a zoom kit lens - avoid “crash zooms”
- light things well if possible
- Audio: use an external microphone (shotgun mic or lapel)
