Hi everyone, I've seen different topics here talking about lighting during an overcast day, but I couldn't find a case close to mine. For a commercial, which will unfortunately happen during an overcast weather and even maybe during raining days, I was wondering how can we light a very wide shot.

Alternatively, might it be better to go with a less contrasty stock and reserve option to add contrast in the grade?
