My camera is Canon 60D and I will be using it to shoot a short parkour video, that means:

  • deep focus (no foreground/background blur)
  • a lot of motion, moving subjects, moving camera
  • focal length usually from 24 mm to 75 mm, but there will also be a scenes shot at 200 mm
  • a lot will be shot in 1080 at 24 fps (or should I use 25 fps or 30 fps ?)
  • some scenes will be shot in 720 at 60 fps

Accessories:

  • I do have a steadicam
  • I have got 1.8 lenses (24 f/1.8, 35 f/1.8, 50 f/1.8) so I can use low f-stops.

Questions:

  • What shutter speed should I use? I have read that it should be double the FPS. Why so? What if I break this rule?
  • When I use low shutter speeds (1/120) and I'm shooting during the day, I need f-stop at around f/12. Does this mean that my f/1.8 lens are useless in this case and I can use any bundle f/4 lenses instead?
  • Any tips on improving whatever I wrote above?
