Hello, i'm new and i have a few questions about my Canon 700D (non t5i rebel)

Ok first off i made sure to set my iso at the lowest it could go with out being underexposed.
Then i set my aperture to the widest it could go.
Then i set my shutter to the correct speed for my fps settings (1080p 24p)

After all that i set my color profile to user def 1 and edit to be the flattest possible
Now i press record and it seems my video is just crazy bad even with lots of light in the room. What do i do? Where id i go wrong? I used a tripod before and it still looked grainy and bad.

I have provided a video clip of what im talking about.
Also it seems the blacks in my video are veryyyy dark.
Im talking black black. I turned of all the contrast to fix that but it did nothing. So i really must have done something wrong or i have a messed up camera.

Thanks btw. Thanks alot. ohhhh btw i do have Magic lantern installed but these problems im having are still there even after installing ML so its not that.

IM looking at t5i rebel short films and some of them are inside with WORSE lighting than me and they still have better video and the whole video looks washed out like a film ya know? the shadows look less contrastyyy and soft and even. if i go in my living room and look all my shadows are soft and stuff but like on camera they turn into dark dark darkkkkkk....my iso is the lowest i can go but i just tried out a lower iso even though it made my image dark it still had CRAZYYYYY noise..... idk whats up

What you did was create the closest you can to a RAW video but you are seemingly not doing any post production, that's the reason your video looks so bad...
 
After watching your video, I think you are confusing out of focus areas with noise.

I don't see noise, I see shallow depth of field.

dSLRs due to their large sensors and wider apertures have much shallower depth of field than cellphones or camcorders.

So you dont see anything wrong with it? AS im looking and if you look in the shadows and watch the video in full hd you can see that grain. I know its dof lol im talking grain :/ dose it look fine then? btw?

And that's the nauseating amount of movement of the camera...

I watched it in HD.

I didn't notice any noise in the in focus areas.

Again the only grain I see in the out of focus area.

The character of the out of focus areas, often called bokeh, is highly influenced by the lens.

See:

Bokeh from Wikipedia

Bokeh from KenRockwell.com

edit: Also often bokeh can be destroyed by using too much sharpening.

But im not recording RAW.
By turning down the contrast as you described you did do exactly that - because that's as close as you can get in video to a RAW (there are only a few cameras with ML that can do better)...
It's the high noise and grain that is bothering me. If you watch that example video you can see i think that it seems to looks super high contrast and such with lots of grain when it should be clean.
I can't watch that mess without getting sea sick within seconds...
