I think I will stick to simply color correcting it to appear as though it is night- a lot less grain.

@impalax327 That's certainly debatable. In any event, we're just demonstrating the technique so that filmmakers will have the option if they feel that such a scene is necessary.

Writing in a scene that involves characters being in a car at night should have a purpose, if not set the scene somewhere else where it can be better lit and the actors are seen properly. If the scene is in a car at night then make it dark and realistic and write good dialogue to accompany it. In most cases you see scenes like this added in TV/movies where actors are lit up like xmas trees is for no other reason than actor exposure (eye candy) or to fill frames in a weak production.
