Noticed ~144° shutter in Weapons but couldn’t see any difference

Guys,

came across a frame from the film Weapons BTS , and noticed the shutter angle at 144deg.

What’s confusing me is:

  • It’s not a slow-motion shot
  • No visible speed ramp
  • And honestly… I couldn’t clearly see anything different in motion compared to a typical 180° look

From what I understand, at 24fps:

  • 180° ≈ 1/48 (or 1/50)
  • 144° ≈ 1/60

So, when you use something like 144° in a normal scene, what are you actually gaining?
