The golden hour (magic hour)

After reading the script, I immediately noted that the first scene where Michael comes home from work is set in the evening and I thought about how to achieve the best possible lightI came across the term golden hour, which refers to the short period of time directly before sunrise and after sunset, whereby the sky is still colourful, but the sun isn't visibleIt would be beneficial to film the scenes of Michael at night during this golden hour, just after sunset, which would approximately be at 4pm during the November period. This is because there would be enough ambient light to shed definition on Michael, emphasising his tired, worn out expression but there is also a sense that it is approaching evening.
