Brightness and Contrast

I feel it is very important to experiment with the brightness and the contrast of the footage we capture. Having manipulated the images of our location shots I've found that in black and white, adjusting these elements on the images can bring out much more detail that otherwise would not be see. It makes the images much more vibrant and with will defiantly have to consider this in post production when editing our music videos. I have included an example of the affects of adjusting both brightness and contrast.

This is the image before the manipulation.
