I would recommend using Apple Color or any other color correction program such as the Magic Bullet plugin. Much of what everyone is talking about here is much about white balancing, but the bottom line is, you're not going to get the look that Saving Private Ryan or any other professional film...
Okay, I checked out your short film. Nice job for a 48 Hour, those competitions certainly test your skills to adapt, I love them.

This thread seems kind of difficult to accomplish. Analyzing a single shot is all fine and dandy, but how do we know there isn't movement in the shot? Or, how do we determine if a shot is good without knowing the context of it's intent? You can analyze all parts of a shot and point out what's...
