i will be shooting in a forest exterior and these days its raining cats and dogs .i am expecting it be like this for my shoot also ,but my concern is about my exposure....if i read the day light with incident meter as 5.6 /8 or 8 in the morning.then how much should i expose for my characters....considering that i want only soft lighting and again i dont want to expose the face as if its light up by some source. and suggest me about back light also...coz i cant simulate a strong sunlight here coz its raining and without some back light the characters could merge into the background... and also if you can kindly advice me on how to cope with such bad weather,it will be a great help !! thanx...

im shooting on 16mm film and i need to shoot day sequences which require warm and cool tones. im using 500T stock ,so after balancing with 85 filter for day light...how should i give warm and cool tones ? if i use tungsten sources or if i put up CTO on hmi's ....then will this give me that desired warm look ?? and by not using correction for daylight, i will get cool look,but am wondering if it will add too much blue . suggest me about this ...
