Try the Color Curves.

Black velvet is better than muslin if you want real black.
Watch spill onto the background and get the subject lit flat.

Bob, YES!! The Film HD setting in Color Curve worked WONDERS!

Thanks a million.

Glad to help.
Don't be afraid to tweak that preset and keep an eye on the waveform monitor. Lots of ugly noise oftenly lurks in and near the blacks. If you can crush that with the curve you may avoid having it come back to bite you depending on how the footage is viewed.
