If you are shooting color film, note that monitors are usually balanced at about 6500 degrees kelvin, which is essentially "daylight" -- so use a daylight-balanced film.
Also I would use a shutter speed of 1/30th in case there are any field-issues depending on the video source (interlaced or progressive). Probably doesn't matter but can't hurt. Test!
