But if you want to capture beauty, beyond sunsets and flares, there\u2019s an incredible time of day just after the sun has fallen behind the horizon called &#8220;blue hour&#8221; (or &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/4-cinematography-tips-magic-hour\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">magic hour<\/a>&#8220;). This occurs when the sun has either just set or is about to rise, and it can create a beautiful water color effect across the clouds.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Embrace the Gray<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/overcast.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-105279 size-large\" title=\"Production Tips for Shooting in Outdoor Lighting Conditions \u2014 Overcast\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/overcast.jpg?w=755\" alt=\"Production Tips for Shooting in Outdoor Lighting Conditions \u2014 Overcast\" width=\"755\" height=\"363\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/overcast.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/overcast.jpg?resize=300,144 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/overcast.jpg?resize=277,133 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/overcast.jpg?resize=359,173 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/overcast.jpg?resize=543,261 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/overcast.jpg?resize=560,269 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/overcast.jpg?resize=150,72 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">My favorite filming condition is when the sky is overcast. The texture of the clouds creates a massive soft box for the sun. This provides incredible detail in your coverage, and it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/cinematography-tip-how-to-create-soft-diffused-light\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">diffuses the sunlight<\/a>, so it\u2019s not overpowering on-screen. Overcast days are great for pretty much every camera too. This is because they aren&#8217;t compensating for shutter speed, aperture, or even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/blog\/exposure-what-is-iso\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">ISO<\/a> to get an balanced image \u2014 the lighting is perfect!<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Overall, each condition creates different circumstances \u2014 no one single one is better than the other. It\u2019s important to understand the effects of filming exteriors and the vibes different kinds of weather lend to every shoot. Overcast mornings can feel dark and gloomy, while sun-blazing evenings<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>can feel hot and sweaty. The key thing to remember is that light translates the environment not temperature. Just because It feels nice out doesn\u2019t mean it will look nice on camera. My biggest piece of advice is to figure out the tone you want for your scene before looking out the window!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Looking for more video tutorials?
