I'm going to be making a video soon that's going to entail an interview in which I want to convey a somewhat sad tone. Does anyone have any good ideas for filters or color corrector settings that might work well?
Thanks!

Lighting and camera angles will provide the most dramatic look - far more than what you could do in post.

People tend to view bluish/cooler, somewhat desaturated, lower contrast images as being "sadder" (there's a reason it's called "the Blues").
Conversely, poppy, rich, warm tones are viewed as "happier".

Is that what you meant?

Sad tone? Is the material sad? Will the interview be staged or directed? Or is it to be real? Conveying emotion in video is intentionally manipulative and a directorial decision that cannot be undone unless, of course, you do it post with Patrick's color corrections. But pushing a button doesn't alter the content of the interview or the setting. If you're shooting someone on the train at Disneyland talking about losing their mother to cancer you may have tough time with color as your only tool.

Dramatic filters?
