How do you make DV look more movie/film like

[funnymoney]

I was wonder how you can make DV video look more like a real movie look/ film look. I have both Video explosion deluxe and adobe premiere software, and I was wondering if anyone might have a good formula for make this type of look in post. I don't have a XL 2, so I cannot use the 24fps feature. I have heard that some people have a formula of what effects, layers, etc. that they use to achieve this with adobe premiere.

First I'd go with soft lights for ke (the main light for the scene) light. Maybe add a filter like a black pro mist 1/4 or 1/2 which is a light diffusion. Watch your contrast as much as possible.

Yes in post there's Magic Bullet which can give standard video a film feel. You can also de-interlace the footage, but it can overly soften your footage.
