Lighting
Adobe Premiere is my main editing software. Since my filming will be outdoors, the lighting is a concern. I have to plan in correspondence with the weather and UV index. I researched it's best to film outdoors right before sunset or shortly after sunrise. 7-10am or 4-7pm.
It's also preferred to shoot on a cloudy day, since there would only be natural lighting that is not overwhelming.
My schedule has to be adjusted since I originally planned to film mid day, when the sun is most harsh. This would most likely create shadows down on my face.
I was contemplating having my main character wear sunglasses, but I discovered this creates a drift between the character and audience. Eyes being visible are necessary for trust and a personal connection. Most of my filming location is shaded by trees, so this isn't a large concern.
Natural lighting is a realistic and naturalistic cinematography approach, which coincides with my genre and overall intentions.
