Echo: Editing and Colour Grading Echo: Day to night and more, 27 August- 20 October, 2018

I'm working on Anna van Riel's Echo video this month
Colour Grading in Premier Pro     This is OK

Bring down exposure
put blue tint in:  adjustment layer> colorista
desaturate colours,

Turning Day into Night   This one is better because it shows how to bring in a starry sky
Make sure none of the elements in the shot are too white or clipped
Keep it underexposed, under 90 IRE
offset colours so you get the blue tones
decrease contrast
adjust temperature towards blues
slightly underexpose shot
decrease saturation to 70, 75
replace sky and put stars in using adobe after effects starts at 7 minute mark
can set it up so whatever you do in AE automatically updates in Premier Pro
Null shots: link to horizon so the stars move around with the camera
use feathering and masks to make sure starry sky doesn't creep below horizon line   12 minute mark

Colour correction in After Effects  Short and sweet

Whichever technique I use will depend on available software.
