Answer 1

I was able to produce it by doing the following:

1. Convert the video to monochrome by turning the saturation down
2. Apply Levels and bring the output black point up to around 30%
3. Put an orange color solid over it and set the opacity to 50%
4. Set the blend mode to "Normal," "Overlay," or "Hard Light"

You can experiment with the black point and blend modes to get the look just right for your footage.

Answer 2

There are many ways to do this; Three built in effects that do it for you, each with differing levels of control...

• CC Toner
• Tritone
• Tint

just colour pick the shades of orange you want.

Answer 3

Just looks like a solid color layer on top with some transparency.
