I don't grasp it, but i'm pretty sure a beer or two will help.

As I stare out the window today I can't help thinking that the setup is too
high in LA these days. If I was in the edit bay I'd surely pull down the
black levels to get full range. I'm usually in the habit of finding
something in an image that should be at or close to black. I'm curious how
others approach this. I don't like images to look washed out with a high
setup but am I artificially stretching things that I shouldn't? I have a
similar approach to gain in that I usually find something in an scene that
should be at or near 100%. I'm always trying to get the maximum dynamic
range I can. In a feature film some scenes are darker than others and
clearly their brightest elements may not approach 100% luma level. Working
primarily in TV reality and documentary shows I've had good results with a
full range approach. Should I grow a pair and start letting darker scenes
not peak near 100% or let setup not always start at 0 level? The
brain seems to make it all seem okay when I do the full range color
correction and brighter scenes feel brighter even when the setup and gain
limits are technically the same. I'd like to hear what others think about
this.
