Night time filming

I have been looking on the internet at various website to try and solve the problem about filming at night. Some tips that were mentioned were:

• Try not to use the zoom on the camera, if I want a close up shot move to the artist rather than zooming in. This will keep the light distribution even and keep the quality of the shot to a good standard.
• Make as much use of artificial light outside as you can, we tried to use lamposts in the shots that we tried outside but these gave the video an orange colour which we didn't want. We need another light source, maybe a portable light.
• We could try filming just as it starts to get dark and then edit the video in the video editing software to be slightly darker, however this would mean that we wouldn't have a long amount of time to film what we need.
• We could choose a busier place to film where there is more shops and buildings with lights but there is more of a chance that other people will end up in the shots which we don't want.

Below are the videos we shot on the night as test shots that we don't think worked very well, A portable light source will be useful for these shots so we can see the artist and everything it clear without the orange colouring.
