Colour correction

I'd like to know how the more expert super 8 filmmakers among you colour correct your film scans. Do you use colour charts when shooting? Why or why not?

 

I have a bunch of off-the-wall scans of my family's home movies from the 70s-late 80s. I've been using them to practice correction/grading. They're all K40, which has no doubt faded over the years. I've noticed that the whites are extremely strong, nearly overpowering.

I had a bash at colour correcting in Lightworks 14 free, since Resolve doesn't cooperate with Win 10.

 

I'm aware these scans are SD and there's a fair amount of digital noise. They're just family films, so we didn't feel a full 2k scan was necessary. I would like to get them looking as good as possible given these parameters.

 

Thoughts?
