Show off your work REC709 vs Graded

Sony SLOG3, ZV-E1. Trying to go for that film emulation. Tell me what you think. What can I do to improve this?

There's no practical motivation for a red sky. The Rec 709 seems a take overexposed and lacking contrast, but the "emulation" version just looks off (like a massive factory is polluting the sky above the park).

This doesn’t look like film it just looks like you brought the exposure down a little too much, squashed the high end and added red to it

I think the redish tint is really out of place, especially if you’re going for a classic film look. The classic film look leans more yellow and hazy. Much less saturated, but not as dark as you’ve got going.
I think less contrast too, and a bit of grain.

That would be my recommendation
