How do I convert feet to running time when shooting on film?
Internet Filmmakers' FAQ
Working out the running time for your film is as simple as follows:
- 16mm shot at 24fps will be 36ft per minute
- 35mm shot at 24fps will be 90ft per minute
Remember that changing the camera speed (i.e. increasing/decreasing the frame rate) will affect these ratios!
