Before color grading, it is best to carefully analyze the composition and color composition of the original film. Find out the strengths and weaknesses of the image and then set the appropriate colors. The colors adjusted in this way are more targeted and beautiful.

Analysis of the original film: The character's looking back, smiling and running forward convey the storyline beyond the screen, which is impressive. Since the scene is relatively bland, the atmosphere needs to be added later.
Tone-setting idea: The idea in post-processing is to use dreamy pastel colors to emphasize the atmosphere of the picture, thereby weakening the dullness of the scene.
1. Use the "Optional Color" tool to adjust the "Green", "Yellow" and "Neutral Color" in the optional colors respectively. The values are as shown in the figure:

2. Use the "Curves" tool to slightly increase the contrast. I use the "medium contrast" preset in the software, and then reduce the transparency of the curve layer to a suitable value.

3. Add the appropriate sky material to the photo to a new layer, adjust the appropriate size and angle, add a mask to the sky layer, and use a black brush to erase the unnecessary parts. You need to download the sky material yourself from the Internet..jpg)
4. Create a new layer and use the white gradient to pull down the gradient halo effect from the upper corner. The film is completed..jpg)
