If you keep it on auto, you'll find the camera selecting some very slow shutter speeds (assuming you want night time shots like the example you posted). The slow shutter speed will give you very blurred images as the subject movement will not have been "frozen" to give you the stop frame effect you desire. Set the shutter speed to about 1/30th to freeze the movement of pedestrians, you'll still get some blur off cars though. You'll have to bump up the ISO, to something quite seriously high to achieve this. You'll also have to take your scene on a very brightly lit part of Blackpool, but that shouldn't be too difficult, not as difficult as some other towns.
