The Rookie Asks: Upper Fields First, Lower Fields First, and the "Film Look"

I have read many tutorials that state that premiere can simulate the "film look" by having two layers:

Top Layer in Video Track 2 that was rendered "upper fields first" and set to 50% opacity

Lower Layer in Track 1 that was rendered "lower fields" first.

I have tried this with no substantial change in results. Am I doing something wrong?

Also..no one has mentioned how the file that has the two tracks should be rendered. Should it be no field? UFF? LFF? This has me perplexed.

Thanks in advance.
 
The film look goes deeper than that,

Create more contrast using Curves.

Frame your shots more "fimlic", use something like 1:85 aspect Ratio.

Use smooth camera moves, the list goes on.

I've got a tutorial somewhere that would be a good read, give me a PM with your details and I'll mail it to you, it's HTML, so it's small

Does anyone know what the original effect is supposed to do? It's not a 24p solution right, it just blends upper and lower fields to create a 30p look (better than just deinterlacing cause you're still using the data from both fields)?

Click to expand...

does this mean you are shooting 60i? confused
 
What did you shoot? 24p (the default for F5 on the back of the dvx), 24pa (default for F6), 30p, or 60i (just regular shooting for most cameras)?
