Posting an example is always a good idea, but if you use a scanner, it should have a "negative" setting.

white balance on the clear area of the negative then invert your image toa positive. This should remove the blue cast caused by the orange tint of the film.

Cheers

it'll be impossible to get good colour out of it imo. Also the scan itself is not good.

Just inverting still leaves the inverse of the orange base (the blue cast you mentioned). Scanning under the "color negative" setting will roughly balance out the image, though you always need to go back and do post processing to get these things looking halfway decent.

There are some pretty nasty processing problems with this image (the streaks between and on the sprocket holes, but you should still be able to get something decent on the figure since her face looks properly exposed.

I had the roll processed and as expected the colours were very wonky to say the least lol.

This looks like a scan made with a scanner that doesn't support film scanning. Or at least used document mode.
