Question by MK: Why is it that when you make the aperture on a camera lower, the people’s movements are frozen?
I thought that when you make the aperture lower the lens opens less wide, restricting the amount of light. I am confused as to why the movements are also ‘frozen’.

Aperture doesn’t directly affect movement. Shutter speed does. If you stop down (higher aperture number, ex. 32) then you have to use a slower shutter speed. If you open up (lower aperture number, ex. 2.8) then you can use a faster shutter speed.
The faster the shutter, the less motion blur.
