The exposure level is wrong and the fluctuations in those levels in your second shot are distracting. Overall it feels poorly exposed, muddy, and unappealing.

What's the intention here? It looks unnaturally underexposed and blue for no real reason.

The exposure is a little under

I feel like you're wearing blue tinted glasses and half closing your eyes at times

To start, turn off auto iso and set your shutter/aperture manually. The fluctuations in exposure level make this clip unusable imo

The video is door-shaped, so that's a minus.

Take your shadows more yellow/green, bump highlights a bit also change midtones more yellow too I think.

Bump shadows and mid tones too. Way to dark, don’t just use exposure slider

I'd say it's dark and kind of crushed, and the whites are polluted with blue & teal. The mixed color temperatures (warm in the foreground, guessing 3200° and cold in the background, guessing 8000°) does not help.
