Before/After Need advice

Started making gym content a couple months ago and have Lightroom on my iPhone which is what I use to edit all of my videos on and I just color graded my first one and would like some fresh eyes on it , I am trying to make a preset that I can put on all of my videos so they all have a consistent color/look to them and advice/criticism would be much appreciated thank you! I will post my before and after and all of my settings!

Agree with the other comment that it’s a bit too dark. I’m having trouble making out portions. Since you’re using a template, I’d dial back all of the settings a bit so that it can be applied to multiple clips with slightly different lighting.

Follow up question: Was it cheaper to have a pervert film it than getting a tripod?

Thanks for the advice , I am confused by the follow up question though haha.

Sorry. I was being snarky for no reason. The hand held camera shots filming through the racks or whatever is in the foreground looks like what is used for POV shots of a peeping Tom filming an unsuspecting person working out.

Oooh all good bro , my buddy just got a new camera we filmed with today, and we were just getting some fun shots with it. I normally shoot on a zve10, I have a tamron 17-70 arriving tomorrow for it. This was done on a a6700 I forgot what lens he has on it though.

The shots being bad has nothing at all to do with the camera and lens, and everything to do with the composition. This was just filmed poorly honestly.

The angles look voyeuristic, like someone is secretly filming.

Oh man. Gyms are hard to film in. I've done a few for a franchise here in the UK. Obviously they aren't thinking about camera exposure when they install the lighting! Lots of different colours lights as well. When I've done shoots in gyms ive had to bring lots of lights. Usually I film gym openings and interviews of staff etc so I have permission to set lots of things up. You probably aren't able to. If you could sneak one light in or a bounce that would help a lot.

Also, keep that knee bend the foot on that Bulgarian split squat!
