PAL versus NTSC

[sambat]

An unresolved argument in another thread - but my question isn't relevant to that.

Film, movie, it's the same thing. It's something that plays at 24fps in a movie theater and 23.976fps on an NTSC DVD (or 29.97fps with pulldown).

I have a PAL DVD (Sharpe's Battle) made by 'Granada' - which is I think a UK TV network.
Do these productions get shot on film at 24fps then speeded up to 25fps for the domestic DVD market?

If it wasn't film, but video shot at 25fps (?), how would they change it for an NTSC DVD release.

Is this it ?

In 1995 it would have been shot on film (celluloid) .

Common practice is to speed up to 25 FPS for PAL (50Hz areas) releases . (But there are other methods of converting to 25FPS as well)

But nowadays, PAL productions might be shot in 25FPS natively

Yes that's the movie.

Still on film?
If so, how would it be modified for the NTSC market.

If it's shot on film, it's always 24 FPS

Nowadays, there are many digitial acqusition formats, and many UK productions are shot in 25p natively. Film is being used less and less

25p is modified for NTSC area release by either simple slowdown (or other techniques like field blending ) .

OK.
Thank's for the info.
