Need help fixing colors

I'm using Premiere 6.0 -- I don't have AfterEffects.

I have a clip for my digital feature 'Afterlife' that needs fixing. The scene is supposed to take place at a party at night, but was actually shot in the morning. The problem is the color of sunlight that is streaming through a nearby window onto my actor. The window itself isn't seen, but the coloration caused by the daylight creates entirely the wrong image. I need to figure out how I can tweak this clip in Premiere to make the overall appearance look more like an interior at night. (Re-shooting is not a possibility.)

I'll try to post a grab shortly, but any ideas would be greatly appreciated. And I'm not a Premiere expert, so keep it simple.

Thanks!
 
Thanks FiddlerMD. Can you be a bit more specific about setting the levels? Which levels should be adjusted? And what adjustments should be made? How can I make the light coming from the window and falling on the actor's face and body look like moonlight without giving the entire frame a bluish cast? I'd like the overall lighting to seem like warm indoor lighting, if that's going to be possible.

Thanks again!
 
hmm well if you warm up the whole picture I'm not sure if that light will stay bluish .. it's one of those things you just gotta play with and see what kind of result you get... you can try overall levels or just levels of individual colors one at a time... i'd go at this with the trial and error route... sorry can't be more help but i'm sure you'll come up with something! :)
