Slow motion is a technique used in film and video production that captures action at a higher frame rate than normal. When played back at standard speed, the footage appears to move more slowly, allowing viewers to see details that are often missed in real-time. This effect is commonly used in sports, action scenes, and artistic expressions to emphasize movement and emotion. The process of creating slow motion involves recording at a frame rate significantly higher than the typical 24 frames per second used in cinema. For example, filming at 120 frames per second or higher can create a smooth slow-motion effect. This technique is also utilized in scientific studies to analyze fast-moving phenomena, such as ballistics or biomechanics.
