Q.514

Oscar 5

Our last question in this Oscar series:

Several things made this multi-Oscar nominated film's production different from its peers. One such aspect was that instead of shooting at the now traditional rate of 24 frames per second, the film was shot at a slightly slower rate, at 22 frames second. This deliberate choice was made to evoke the period the film is set in.

Which film?

[+ Show Answer]

"The Artist", an almost-fully silent film set in the late twenties during the transition from silent movies to the talkies.
