Shutter Speed

First up, we have shutter speed, or as it's more commonly referred to as in cinema - shutter angle. This is the thing that all cameras will have in common and is the easiest way to work the video-look out of your footage and make it look a little bit more. 
Put simply, this is the speed at which the sensor opens itself up to the light streaming in from the image. This used to be accomplished with a mechanical shutter array spinning in front of the film gate, that could be adjusted to let more or less light onto the celluloid as needed. That looked like this:



Shutter Speed in photography is referred to as calculations of fractions of one second. So 1/4, 1/16, 1/50, 1/200, 1/1000 and so on. This affects our image because the longer you keep the shutter opens to expose the sensor to light, the brighter and blurrier the image gets, similarly the less time you hold it open, the darker and sharper the image becomes. Here is a table that can explain visually:
