When shooting in slow motion, a “time freeze” effect is created. And these types of videos affect our brain in a special way.
First, slow-motion videos make information easier to process. Second, they activate mirror neurons. It is known that the easier it is for us to process information, the more pleasure and confidence we experience. Therefore, slow motion videos give us a feeling of satisfaction and comfort.
As for mirror neurons, these brain cells are activated when we look at other people’s actions. This is necessary to understand their intentions, emotions and internal state. Movements become more expressive when shooting in slow motion. In this way, empathy and compassion develop.
You can make your video more attractive to other people by shooting in slow motion. But it is important to take into account three factors: the complexity of the actions, the positive message of the video, the purpose (slow-motion videos are needed to please, relax and calm a person).
