How can I avoid my video turning out like this:

You know, the person is completely white and out of focus. Btw, I have a DSLR (Nikon D3100).

Turn the camera on spotlight mode (if it has it). How is the D3100? I was looking to buy one.

You are using a stills camera that the first problem, the second too much zoom, you need a tripod, or get closer, you need to have a camera (video) that can handle the lighting, manual settings, you need to use manual focus and not auto as the camera is finding it hard to get a reference point, Audio again you need to be able to limit the amount of gain.

Not a good video. If you get the manual settings right and the stability, then its going to get better.

concerts are not the easiest things to record, even with the right equipment they can be a nightmare, lighting all over the place
