A lower number like 1/250 is a faster shutter speed and, therefore, lets in less light than a higher number like 1/30. This is because in the first example the shutter opens and closes in 1/250 of a second, which is a much shorter amount of time than 1/30 of a second. Less time=less light.
Knowing this, and knowing you also want to keep your shutter speed equal to or faster than the focal length of your lens, you will use TV or S mode when you want to avoid motion blur, create motion blur, or simply work with a specific shutter speed throughout a series of images. When using TV/S mode, depth of field, which is controlled by aperture, is not the first concern.
