Reel conventions

[SeanEmer]

Hey all, long time no post!

I am putting together a reel right now, but before I post it for opinions etc, I was wondering if some of the more seasoned shooters out there could clarify a couple things for me...

Should I slate/mark shots as graded, ungraded, VFX manipulated, etc.? In fact, should I stick to ungraded or graded shots, and should I avoid shots that have been cleaned up for things like boom poles, power windows, background elements, etc.?

Going hand in hand with that, should I display the format (HD, 16mm, S16mm, 35mm), name of project, or dates?

Right now I haven't marked anything, and I feel it should stay that way, but I could also understand the desire to know that kind of info as I often find myself asking those questions while watching someone else's footage.

Thanks guys!

Put the finished product in your reel, only label it if you need to clarify what your job was. Or if you feel it would look better labeled. If they really want to know how much grading was done or whatever they can ask, which has networking advantages.
