Hi,
I’m just watching a series on Netflix called “The Movies That Made Us”. In the episodes it shows unused footage from Back to the Future and Home Alone and the footage is unedited and basically looked like a home video.
I understand that this is done in post production and editing but what is the actual process used to achieve the smooth cinematic look?

Another issue you could be seeing is what was known back then as “color timing” basically making the image a little brighter or darker depending on what the mood of the scene or the how the rest of the film looks.
You mentioned editing and oddly enough, cutting does make a huge difference in how we see a movie visually. If you just watch a scene not in a movie but with the parts before and after what is usually edited out, it would look much different. It just wouldn’t “feel” right.
