There are many ways to accomplish this, however, the quickest way to do it in-camera would be to set the chroma level far away from 0. GO negative for a warmer feel and positive for a cooler feel. Also changing the color temperature in the scene file can make it seem more contrasty.

There's a preset that should be on your camera called Cine V. V is a much more contrasty filmic look than D. Some people on this board may argue that when getting a filmic look, you shouldn't use the CIne presets, however, if you do your lighting right, it looks near perfect.

Are you shooting in 24 or 30 fps?

Okay, you're probably shooting in 24p instead of 24pA

in 24p, the camera is capturing 30 frames then down converting to 24. with 24pa, you're capturing 24 fps, thus taking less space.
Someone else could explain the science behind it better than me, but that's the jist of it.

you mean shooting during the day?

Yeah there's a lot of good ways to do this. Something I recommend getting would be a blue filter to cover your lens. White balance without the filter, then put it on. This will give some natural blue tones, similar to those you get at night.
You can also change the color temp in your scene file to +7, which will be really blue, then add contrast like I described before.
Proper lighting is important here, also. You're going to want to use some gels and use mostly dim, directional light.

You should be shooting 720/24pN, not 24pA.
No. In all flavors of 24, the camera is "capturing" 24 progressive frames.
In 24p, the frames are recorded across 60 interlaced fields, adding pulldown in a 2:3 sequence (2 fields for the first frame, 3 fields for the second frame, 2 fields for the third frame, 3 fields for the fourth frame, etc.).
In 24pA, the frames are still recorded across 60 interlaced fields, but adds pulldown in a 2:3:3:2 sequence (2 fields for the first frame, 3 fields for the second frame, 3 fields for the third frame, 2 fields for the fourth frame, etc.). The "A" in 24pA stands for "advanced pulldown". This makes handling the footage more efficient in editing systems.
In 24pN (native), the frames are recorded as 24 full progressive frames.
Both 24p and 24pA take up the same amount of space, because they are recording the same number of interlaced fields per second, only in different sequences. 24pN is the space-saving format, because there is no need to pad the data to fill up a 60-field sequence.
