Color Correction

Turns out, it it possible to make a scene filmed in natural day light look like it was shot at night, or at least in low key lighting. Which is amazing. Thank goodness for the miracle of post production color correction. I've been debating in my mind two different color corrections that I want to do for the scenes shot outside.The first idea I had was to turn the saturation down so the scenes would have a more lifeless feeling to them. However this also made the film look more horror-esque which is not what I wanted at all. So I tried my second option, to increase the saturation to make the colors unnaturally virbrent. I hoped this would make the scene look unreal and almost radioactive. But things rarely go how we expect them too. When the colors are vibrant it counteratied the mysterious and eerie feeling I wanted. So, in conclusion I still have no idea what i'm doing and I'm running out of time.

Update: I still have no idea what color correction I should do. I asked people for their opinions and have got mixed reviews. Some people prefer the high saturation and other people prefer the low saturation.

Update pt2: I finally decided on the low saturation. It gave my film the eerie feeling that I wanted to achieve. I found a filter on Filmora called dark film and it made the overall color of the frame darker and more mysterious. In addition, I added a cinematic border to my film to make it appear more finalized and professional.
