External Lighting issues on overcast day

from Al Lougher (alougher@stressedoutfilms.co.uk)
We are shooting on DV on the side of a hill. Since this is in England it is likely that it will be an overcast day. The side of the hill has no DIRECT sunlight, in other words, the sun rises and sets BEHIND the hill with the hill in shade for the duration of the day.

The issue we have is whether to find another location that is in direct sunlight for the duration of the day so that we can use reflectors etc. However, I would think that this is only neccessary if it was a clear sky with plenty of sunlight to reflect. If the day turns out to be overcast anyway, would we be wasting our time in relocating?

TIA.
