I unfortunately can not share the original plane shot as it's part of an unreleased music video, and the full shot has the song in it.

Notes:
Ultimately the goal of this video was to demonstrate the different ways of applying contrast in Resolve. Different tools that affect different areas linearly or logarithmically to achieve your desired result. Understanding how these tools operate will allow you to efficiently produce the look you want with practice and repetition.
So regarding the before and after at the end, to be clear the intent is not to say "look at how bad this image was before, and now we've fixed it" but rather demonstrate how to make contrast and exposure adjustments using multiple tools together in Resolve. I chose an overexposed starting image so the adjustments would be abundantly apparent, hope that clears up any possible confusion.
Check out the extra credit unlisted video for an explanation on how contrast impacts saturation. Ultimately adding contrast increases the distance between the brightest and darkest part of the image. With this change also occurring on a sub pixel level you get a larger difference between the sub pixels, resulting in increased saturation. The larger the initial gap, the more of an effect will be produced by adding contrast. If you're lost, just watch the video, that should make it pretty easy to follow.
