Answer 1

Think of a single frame being a single picture. Generally, movies are filmed at 24 frames per second. Every second that passes, 24 ‘pictures’ are shown. The timing between each frame is insanely quick. But if you stretch out that timing, turning a 1 second film of 24 frames, and make it last for 24 seconds, you’re spending one full second on each frame. So then it just looks like a quick slide show.

Now when it comes to high speed cameras, the camera records at insanely high frames per second. So you can fit hundreds if not thousands of frames into a single second. Then to see it in slow motion, you simply increase the timing between each frame. Boom. Slow motion.
