Man,
Given the fact that:
- negative color film is "supposed" to have a bit narrow dynamic range then b&w,
- it's sort of un-usual to develop for minus or plus developing times as per Zone System expansion & contraction,
I would start the work with a pair of ND filters, a linear polarizer and eventually some color correction filters - UV & skylight for instance, which will make part of my bellows extension factor in exposure calculations one at a time, not all together
Even if it's possible to work only with an incident light meter, my bet would use a 1º spot meter, trying to make accurate exposure for the shadows - all you already know and open shadows to zone IV - and try to contrast control the scene with ND filters when needed. You'll probably have a higher success rate dealing with sun at 60º or less, so better arrive in place until 10AM or before 4/5 PM for preparation, camera setup, composition studies and decisions, etc.,
Finally, it's crucial to really know the real ISO speed rate of the film you'll work with, to not be surprised later,
That's my $0.02 cents , i wish you luck and a bunch of nice pics,
Cheers,
Renato
