I don't know what the purpose of the shoot is exactly - is it to record a particular set of seminars or to use to illustrate brochures etc in the future. If the latter, my institution places a great deal of emphasis on racial, age and gender diversity. Also, we like to see shots of individuals or more engaged in animated discussion, rather than the semi-static room look. Because of this, you might want to use something longer than 50mm - a 90mm or even 135mm. Some of our seminar room can be very long and thin, and your movement might be limited.

I won't be able to scout the location for lighting conditions before the shoot. Most situations, I think, will be interior (?) and after 4 pm. Don't know if they are classrooms, halls or labs. Because they are in session I can't nor do I want to add a any flash bounce or otherwise. I plan on using an M4 and a IIIf with a 50 and 35 also will bring a LTM 25mm. Any recommendations for film? Do I worry about filtering in the camera or wait to color correct in PhotoShop when we go to design/ Any horrors I should watch out for? All comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated.
