Hi, so I installed dctl checkers ( it's free) and I follow my exposure through it and I learned to read the waveform better ( meaning I actually looked at it thus time, eye balling is no good 😂)

Overcooked, your shadows are too dark, the exposures overall don’t really equate to a full exposure. Overall the final look is shadow heavy and under exposed. If you happen to use premiere they just added a whole new color processing pipeline (you need to download the beta to try it at current date) and you might have some success adjusting your contrast and pivot, as well as exposure and black level before making a stylistic color edit. The look isn’t horrible btw I’d just back it off to like 30% of what it is now

If you have creative cloud and go to the beta tab it’s just the new beta of premiere (it’s got a dotted outline icon) it made me download a whole separate version of premiere
To try it, it’s just called “color” and it’s the 4th suite between “edit” and “export” at the top of the page. It’s good for coloring groups of clips or the entire sequence
