Here is a little clip I made
Click me!
It´s for testing how it would works if I edited it with Photoshop, because soon I´m going to animate a bigger video.
Before: 
After:
I did it in postproduction because the darkness is easier to control.
What do you think?
You should turn down the exposure on the first one. Then the girl won't be so ''White'', and the colours wouldn't look grumsey.
Also adding some red, and yellow colours to it, would give it some nice nighty-sash.
After all, it looks pretty good but try to use darker colours, even on your set. The green grass lights pretty much up. Use some darker-green, if you have.

The clip you started with was way too bright. The figure in the foreground is especially washed out. You need a low-contrast clip to start with, then use the curves option to kill the whites and reds and up the blues in post. This tutorial is for doing the same thing in After Effects, but the basic concept is still the same.
Okay. I took out the red and added more blue:
not to sound repettitive but you need to tone down on the brightness (and play around with the contrast) the first pic
the first pic is still to bright to get a convincing "night-look" in post production
Like Noodle said, the image you're starting with is just too bright. Take a different one with lower exposure and try again.
I took another picture, and did the blue-red-thing again.
Thanks for the comments and critic!
