Main takeaways:
Moving images are made up of a bunch of still images played back fast
The frame rate, measured as a unit of time (frames per second / fps) tells you how many still images are being filmed and/or played back per second
We will use 24 fps to shoot. Common exceptions include slow motion, timelapses, the "Chungking Express" effect, etc.
Slow motion: film at higher fps (48, 60, 120, etc), played back at regular fps (24)
Timelapses: film at higher fps (1, 6, 12, etc), played back at regular fps (24)
