I hate to say this but it's really not quite that simple to do this job properly. To get a consaistent look through a movie the settings will change for each clip. not much mayeb they likely will - well, sort of.
Firstly, you need to colour balance your clips. that means where you have two shots taken for a single scene and the sun changed slightly between shots you need to adjust them to make them look the same. Not always easy to get spot on but you can get close quite quickly.
once that's done then you can consider the effect you want to put on top. But they are not easy to quote to you. For example, if you think pushing the green up a bit is enough to give you a 'Matrix' effect then you have much to learn.
Also, compositioon is exceedingly important for this job. It's something you don;t think about so much because Hollywood sijply does it so well you are just blissfulyl unaware of it happening.
creating a drak, sombre mood in your scene? then don't have an extra walk by in the background wearing a bright yellow hawiian shirt. no end of colour grading will make the shot look right will it? For good colour grading each shot needs to have a good and correct colour theme.
Not trying to put you off. I'm just trying to emphasis that this job is not (generally) as easy as up the brightness by 10%, increas constrast by 6% and push the green levels up 6.5%
Having said all that, I haved a bundle oif colour grading preset in my installation. If any of them were freebies then I'll throw them at you gladly. I'll have a look-see.
