Shooting video in aperture priority mode. Is this a good place to start ?
I'm thinking with my shutter speed already determined by the frame rate of the video (double the frame rate for cinematic motion blur) that as long as i establish if i want a sharp or blurry background / foreground it narrows down the other elements that i need to take into account to get a well exposed video. So with shutter and aperture pretty much set all i need to focus on is ISO.
I'm learning the ropes to shoot music video's for my record label so i'm pretty much stuck on using 25fps (UK PAL)
Thoughts on this ?
I won't list my camera i'd rather leave this a a general rule for any camera with aperture priority mode.
Please don't be the guy who tells me to go and read the manual, Or use manual mode or nothing, That's what i usually get in this forum. I'm a beginner and looking for ideas on how to grow at my own pace with the HELP of more experianced users.

Did you see that thread?

Yes,
I have no idea why i am being showed what the buttons do. i did read the manual and i am aware of the difference between the shutter button and the record button !
I won't go into my question again but it's not what i asked at all !

Hang tight. I put up a response, but it's being moderated for some reason.
The summary is maybe look at Program mode. There you can set the shutter and aperture. And then have the cam/camera choose the gain/ISO.
