Colour Grading Research: Underworld Awakening

As we are currently starting to finish the basic edit and focus on the smaller details now, we have decided to do some research into colour grading.

We want to use the colour wheel on premiere to give the film a blue tint, to make it seem colder and therefore more menacing.
We found an example of an action film that has similar blue grading: Underworld Awakening. This film is similar to ours in genre (although it has horror and fantasy elements as well) and the fact that it has a female hero. As you can see in the image and clip below the blue colours makes her character seem harder, tougher and more sleek and professional.



However this clip is slightly too strong in it's colour grading in our opinion and we would be more subtle in our film, as we don't want it to be noticeable, just to influence the audience's impression of Lotus and the events taking place subconsciously.The snapshot below (from the same film) is more illustrative of the type of grading we might use.
