night time ambience

Hello all, im hoping someone can give me a bit of advice for a short film im planning on making early next year, and have been looking at the panasonic HVX200 or the new sony xe to shoot on. Unfortunatly I am new to this and espcially when it concerns lighting. The short is based at night in a warehouse and during a blackout, so the look im aiming for would consist of a lot of it in complete black with the only light sources being from a torch or flame for example. I would exagerate this light to cover more area though, and see some detail from ambient lighting. But I am unsure what would be the best way to do this? Maybe I should light the whole place with the intention of bringing down the light in post, but then would have the problem with the onscreen light sources. Im not even sure the camera is the best choice? Sorry for waffling but I see there are some very clued up people out there and hope someone can help. Cheers
