I’d use Roto Brush to separate yourself from the background and then use a color correction effect on the layer containing you but not the bricks. Since it’s a color adjustment, and I presume that you’re not going to crank it too far, you don’t need to be pixel-perfect with the matte.

I show how to do something very similar in the tutorial linked to in the first bulleted item here:

Just interpret your footage as the frame rate in which you shot it and create a composition at the frame rate that you want.

Frame blending can take care of interpolated frames.
