I don't think going to the party alone is a wise choice... Maybe for some ending (that I wasn't able to find), but surely not for the easiest one(s).
You need to develop the relationship with some lady and take her to the party.
And I don't know which camera you are referring to. There are two of them on sale at the shop: one is for "normal" photos, the other one is some sort of hidden video camera. You need this one for the party.
