I'm just slightly curious about this. I know that in a traditional still camera, the shutter speed is how long the shutter stays open. However, it's only exposing one frame. How does this work when combined with a frame rate? If I set a shutter speed to 1/48th does that mean that it's exposing each frame (at 24fps) twice? Or if I slow down the shutter speed, will I simply get a very blurred image (akin to using a long shutter speed on a still camera, while moving it?)

You got it. No matter what the shutter speed you will always be exposing 24 frames per second.
