Achieving the film look

In the run up to filming I wanted to learn a bit on how the equipment we would be using would work and how I could achieve the most aesthetic looking film possible.
Here are some videos and tutorials I watched that will help me achieve the look I am going for.

  - Production
  - Post-production
