Lens Flares - Adding to the Setting and Mood

The mood in my film is essentially around Betty's want to party for New year's Eve but this stranger has stopped her at the last moment. The party is the thing that Betty returns to several points in my film so I am going to have to make the party her goal. With the film being set on New year's Eve, the mood of the party and therefore the whole film should be positive and the glamor should emphasise everyones's mind set and actions. Betty, because she just wants to party like everyone else is and William, because he thinks the waitress will be too obsessed with her passion to party to care about him not being able to pay for his meal.

I decided to go round Lincoln at night to see how light is shown in a camera. Unfortunately I only had my phone on me but the exercise was enough for me to see how light can be caught on camera to create a lens flare.
