At the widest 24mm, the lens comes with an aperture of f3.2 which is fairly slow and not great for low light events and you will likely struggle to get a shallow depth of field. You would also have to up the ISO setting which results in noisy files. At the tele end, 240mm comes with f5.7 making it quite sluggish and you would need to utilize slow shutter speeds.
