The only way to have an 'accurate' film match is to profile film stock, as we do with our film Profiling Service, using a very accurate hybrid spectroradiometer & densitometer.
https://www.lightillusion.com/film_profiling_service.htmlThe film data extracted can then be used to generate a truly accurate film emulation LUT.
Back in the DI days we would do a butterfly projection to prove the accuracy of such film emulations, with half the screen the original film projection, and the other half digital.
We had to do this, as the scanned DI work was cut back into the film maser, so the emulation had to match as perfectly as possible.
And halation, grain, & weave, is totally separate, and requires a very different approach...
