HDV requires a LOT of light to look good, and also properly positioned lights like in that drawing that Redshoe posted above is key to get a crisp image. The back light (actually I call it a 'hair' light, and call the light that lights the background the 'back' light ) is of *utmost* importance. Move the model away from the wall so that there is room to also light them from above and behind in addition to the key and fill lights lighting their fronts. This is what gives the image a slightly 3-D effect and keeps it from behing murky and flat.
Even for a simple setup in a small room when filming two models screwing o a bed or a couch I use no less than four of five very bright lights for hdv production.
You might want to invest in some fluorescent lighting like two large four-foot four-bank KinoFlos like I use for my key and fill lights plus some smaller light to light the hair and background.
Or if you own tungsten softboxes already get some large pieces of "color temperature blue" gels and cut them to cover your softbox so that they throw the equivalent of daylight, at reduced intensity.
