Weather/Time of Day Intending to Shoot

As it is an English winter, this means that the weather could be sunny; overcast; foggy; rain; or snow, making planning to shoot with a certain type of weather very difficult.

Ideally, the reservoir scenes at the beginning would look brilliant in the mist, as it would create a haunting effect which reflect how the memories of Amy haunt and never leave him. The scenes in the wood should preferably have a sunny background, as this would create interesting light when beneath the treetops.

As sunshine connotes happiness, this would contrast with the change in  Ben and Amy's emotional state since Amy's admission.
However, as it is virtually impossible to know for certain how the weather will look, I have created a storyline which will suit any type of weather.

It is important that I do not film the scenes of the characters getting ready when it is dark outside, as it is meant to be the morning. Also, in the winter the amount of daylight is limited and so it is important that I film quickly. Therefore, I shall arrive at the farm at around 9am, and hope to finish filming at 3pm.
