Advice on how to shoot a club opening...

[RebelD]

Hey everyone! I just got booked to film a grand opening of a club next week and i'm not really sure what exact shots that I should get other than the clubgoers and the DJ. Can anyone give me any advice on how to make a great video and how long it should actually be? Does anyone have any links or examples that can give me an idea of what angles and shots to get? Thanks for the help in advance!

Sounds like a sweet gig. How many cameras will you be using? That can help determine the shots..

I made a small compilation of interesting club/party videos there.

his videos are excellent but i would personally get some shots of the club logo outside if there is a sign (or inside). another idea would be a panning skyline shot of the city fading into the club logo shot. rack focus shots would be nice...

most of all, ask youself if you were to see a club opening video what would you want to see ?

club logo, club security, DJ, hot girls, dance floor, crowd shots, VIP area, bartenders, etc.
