Lav, I agree with David Mullen,ASC and Andres Victorero. But with all this talk of contrast, no one has mentioned negative fill - I would have on hand a good amount of black cloth and try to backlight with the sun as much as possible. Also, on S16, I would suggest a very lite stop and a longer prime lens / the prime, in my opinion will have a better "Bokeh" (out of focus quality) than a zoom. The 250 stock and a good colorist should get you the saturation - best of luck.
