bad light situations

[WalkingWithStrangers]

I'm doing a photo assignment that is going to involve dark settings with bad light. I'm using a film camera [Pentax k1000]. Are there any tricks to make sure that when I develop all my photos don't come out too dark?

I'm going to use external lights probably to help the situation. What would be a good way to place them? Facing up towards the subject, facing down, straight on, to the side...? Any tips?

It would help if you said what you will be shooting...

:er:if you want to shoot light and movement you can try long exposure photography

I think the fireworks is not bad
