When we filmed the royal hotel we were very limited to what lighting was available. The only lighting that was available was mostly spotlights dotted around and natural light during the day.
We recorded the shots of the bar and hotel during the day which was useful as there was very low light in the bar due to the bar having a few spotlights at the back of the bar and at the back of the seating area with a couple of spotlights dotted around the middle.
We recorded the candlelight event at night so we had to turn the ISO on our DSLR's up to 3200 which meant that we had a tiny bit of grain. However you can't really see it once we colour graded the footage. So now I know that when I go out and film next time I will turn the aperture up as well to compensate for the poor lighting in the bar.
The night club parts were recorded in the basement so we had to turn the ISO up even higher to 6400 which made the footage look even more grainy, our client didn't have any other lights to turn on which made shooting customers dancing incredibly challenging as through our eyes it looked dark and through the camera it looked like we had not taken the lens cap off.
