Hey guys. This is my first ever post on reddit lol. 

So for context, i recently did a career switch from marketing to being a full time freelance videographer. 

Ive done videos here and there during my stint in marketing, but those were really bad. I used auto and didnt really bother getting into the technical and creative details. 

I’ve been a full time videographer for almost a year now, and i do a mix of paid and unpaid shoots to build up my portfolio. 

But everytime i look at someone else’s editing choices i kinda question my own, and i keep wondering if my editing is objectively bad or is it just me being insecure. 

The video i posted is an event i covered recently over the weekend.

Would appreciate some comments and input!

I use an FX30 with a 17-70mm Tamron lens. i shoot in SLog3. i try to ETTR as best as i can, and i also eyeball white balance and set the Kelvin value manually. in post, i usually bring down shadows and blacks, go to curves to bring down the lower part of the S curve, and lastly i slightly adjust the shadow and midtone hues to teal and orange respectively. this is my general workflow, if i get my WB and exposure right.

I’ve been stressing over my editing/colour grading choices
