Like others have said before me.. your small Arri DP light kit won't cut it for a night exterior..
If you can get a generator, rent a mole fay 6 light or 9 light (depending on your generator)
Rent a scissor lift from home depot.. and get as high as you can..back light your subject .. put a little ctb and plus green on that lamp..
diffuse as needed...something light though if you want a softer source.. vs hard moon light
second option..
rent a 5k.. blast it into a 12x12 ultra bounce which is rigged up as high as you can go.. same gel..back light the action..
then throw a few 2ks to light up what you can in the background in patches.. high up looking down..
if your stuck with your small kit.. then shoot at dusk and grade it to night...
this is what I would do on a small budget
below is something i did on a NO budget night set up..sorry.. had to pull the still from video..
all i had was (2) 1.2k lamps on left screen and a 1000w to the right..
