cinematography Shooting in a club tonight. Need URGENT advice

[AllanBourne]

Hey Guys, happy weekend to you all. I have a shoot in a club in the Hamptons tonight, first ever of this kind. I've shot tons of Narrative but never a live event. I'm use a 7D with 5 Carl Zeiss lenses. That's about all, I have no rig . How should I go about shooting in a club?

Answering on an unclear question with an unclear answer:
Point the camera at something interesting and hit record button...

what exactly are u asking? How to light it?? Record sound? compose? Is this a documentary? Why are u shooting at the club? Promotion?
More info dude..

One of the worst cameras you can use to capture a live event. And
depending on what is expected, one camera just isn't enough for
something live.

But as dlevanchuk said, you offer nothing to give advice on. The
audio on the 7D is terrible so you will need an audio recorder - IF
you are shooting a band there are different needs for audio. But
you don't say what you're doing. Or what it's for.

How should I go about shooting in a club?

With one camera I can only echo dlevanchuk - point and hit record.

If it's a show, I agree with the above.
However, if it's just a party and you need to shoot people drinking, dancing, etc. a DSLR is perfect for the job. use mainly a wide lense (even a fisheye if you have one) , and I recommend buying a cheap mounted light like this:

If you need some reference I recommend checking out someone like jon zombie:

Also here's a party i shot with a 60D and a Tokina 10-16mm, without light but still looks great:

you can get the work done with canon 7d but make sure you have audio recorder.
