If you plan to make a concert movie and overuse this stuff you should burn in hell:

1. Inserting some other random footage into the video
I don't want to see some **** you think is moody when set to the music. Show me the ****ing musicians.

2. Constant close-ups of the musicians faces
It's nice to see their expressions but I want to see them ****ing playing and not their left eye for ten ****ing minutes. Just show the whole guy, that way I can see his o-face and him doing awesome stuff to his instrument.

3. Constantly showing the audience
Nice to see them going wild from time to time but people at concerts look dumb and, again, I want to see the ****ing musicians.

4. Constant cuts and zooms
No need to try to illustrate music going wild with your ****ing editing. Nothing communicates the energy better than, yep, just seeing the musicians doing their thing. It's the same reason cut-up fight scenes usually are annoying.

Rant over.
I have a bootleg of a Talking Heads concert where the camera guy keeps zooming into Tina Weymouth's tits right when Adrian Belew starts going nuts with his guitar. Every fucking time.
