Help! Shooting 720/24P Night Conditions

Hi all. Just had a test shoot for an upcoming film. We were shooting a scene on a city rooftop, large neon sign in the background. (See pics below) After reviewing the footage it's quite dark in spots and the features on the actresses face seem quite flat. WE are shooting 720/24p Cine D, using the Redrock 35mm adapter with Nikon lenses.

Any suggestions for camera settings and lighting setups would be most helpful. The majority of the film will be shot at night. The other main location is a stand where cigarettes and Taiwanese Betel Nut is sold. (again see pic below) Any suggestions for making the actresses features look more full would be much appreciated in these tricky environments. Many many thanks.
