When is the best weather for filming micro-movies?

It's hard to say. It depends on your scene design.

If high-intensity sunlight is needed to render the atmosphere, that is, on sunny days, it is usually from 7: 00 am to 9: 00 pm and from 3: 30 pm to 5: 30 pm. The specific daylight saving time and winter time will be different, but they are basically those hours, that is, in the morning and evening, the light quality is soft, which is the most acceptable light environment for the audience, and it is easy to shape the atmosphere and serve the plot and characterization. At noon, the sunlight is too strong, the light quality is hard, the light ratio will be large, and it is difficult to control and control the light, and it is difficult to control the amount of light entering the lens. If you have to shoot at noon, you must set up a large area of soft light cloth.

Generally speaking, cloudy days are the best, because the light ratio is small, the light quantity is uniform, the light intensity and color temperature change slowly, there is no need for frequent metering and dialogue balance, and the scene is scattered light, so the risk of overexposure is greatly reduced. At the same time, the sun itself is very strong, so as long as it is not covered with dark clouds, it is basically impossible to be too dark for outdoor play. The problem with cloudy days is that the gray level of the photos taken will be very high and the color contrast will be very low, especially if they are taken with a digital camera, adding a layer of gamma will be even grayer. You can switch to rec709 mode when shooting, but it's not a problem if you can't adjust it, as long as you have a better colorist.

In short, according to the director's design, different weather has different shooting methods.
