Differentiating Morning/Afternoon/Evening Lighting

[jomosadler]

Hello Mr. Deakins or to whoever responds!

My question is regarding lighting the three different times of day through the windows of a single bedroom. Presuming it is a sunny day in the scene, I figure morning and evening look pretty similar leaning towards a warmer tone, but what is the approach for afternoon lighting. Could you walk me through how you go about lighting for each of these scenarios?

Thank you!

That I can’t answer without knowing the script and the scene. Mine is not a ‘one plan fits all’ approach. It could be a rainy day or a sunny day, the blinds might be closed or the room could be flooded with sunlight.
