Learning the skills required for Film making is a current focus of mine. I was lucky to find an excellent online course from the F-Stop Academy called ”Learn to Create the Film Look”. This was an excellent course for learning the fundamentals of film making with a focus on dSLR camera’s.
I am continuing my learning by being a member of Den Lennie’s "Inner Circle" community where we continue to learn the craft of film making with regular film making assignments.

Here is my “Editing Den’s Rushes” entry for the April Inner Circle Film Challenge.



For the luminance correction I used a slightly different approach to that shown by Den. The advice I learned from watching video blogs on film making was to lift the blacks to set the desired shadow levels and restore contrast by pulling the mid-values down. It is amazing how much detail you can reveal & retain in the shadows using this technique while still achieving excellent contrast in the frames (assuming this is the look you are going for)!
