making it look old from shooting clean

[Guest]

i just shot a short film/music video that takes place in paris in the late 60's/ early 70's. I decided to shoot it clean and let the wardrobe speak for itself. However, we want to tweak the color and texture as well as play with a handful of music video like effects. HOW DO I DO THIS>>>WHAT IS AVAILBLE TO THE DIY FILMMAKER?
i am reletively new to this and would appreciate any advice or leads to information that is not insanely "techie"

thanks

Give it an overall slight blue tint and add some film grain. If you can add some flicker and some scratches, so much the better.

Another option that is more or less the same is to look at the style from that era and mimic it in post. Im repeating what David said but pointing you in the direction of visual reference.
