The best shutter speed for film look

[David Ellison]

When shooting 4K 24fps what would be the best shutter speed to work with to achieve a more film look as at 48 it still feels a bit video to me.

Well 1/48th would be the same speed as film (though obviously it can change). It's usually 180 degrees so the frame is exposed half the time it's in the gate a.k.a 1/48th.

i think.. the main factor that differ video look from film look in motion is how the image scanning treatment is done.. aka. Progressive/interlaced...
i think.. in the theatre.. while the shuter opens-up on the image gradually from up to down or vice versa.. a similar feel can be achived on the Progressive projection of progressive images.. being scanned in a direction.. usually form up to down.. but simply if you want it the other side turn the projector on the other side.. ;-)

EDIT: don't forget to flip the images too... if you want it look away from up-side-down..

1/48th is the most common shutter speed for film cameras at 24fps.

How much sharpening are you doing? I find sharpening makes things look "video" more than shutter angle for me.

Just NEVER go slower than 180 degrees, unless there is no motion in the shot, otherwise your footage will scream video.
