50% of the time;
Film records the image when stationary in the camera.
Almost all movie cameras use half the time replacing the last film 'frame' with a new one: '180degrees' of the shutter cycle.
Thus, if you film a Dolphin jumping, he is recorded as a broken series of blurred stills ('trails'). A 48th of a second is missing during frame replacement, a 48th of a second is recorded, but his movement smears the image.
Humans see this flicker, so film projectors break each cycle into 3 flickers....
Sorry, to many words..........
Take your five year old to see the film 'Gandhi', the flicker and strobeing is unbearable.
