During the break, we finished filming all the scenes. We actually expected it to take longer but to our surprise it didn't. We had to re-film some scenes due to lighting issues with times. But due to all the re-filming we had to do, we still finished in time. For the part of the song we filmed with sprinklers, the end, we decided to keep the first filming of it. Since it felt real and genuine because of their surprised reactions when they lit. For the other shots though, we had to do at least three takes so if one got messed up then we could use the other file. This time, we got a tripod with the attachment. We used that for all the shots if we could. We wouldn’t want our film being shaky or unstable.

For this filming session, we wanted to get it all done so the actors could have a free weekend. Because of what happened last time when we filmed, we made sure to check everything. Sure enough, there wasn’t anything missing from our bags. We were so happy when we checked the camera and saw nothing missing. All the filming went well and we even had time to spare. When we filmed, we decided to go to the park. That was our original plan for the first filming session, so we did it this time. Im very happy that we got all of the filming done in one day so that we didn't have to make the actors come over during the weekend. All though we got all the filming done, we haven't been able to edit yet. My partner forgot the camera at her house so we couldn't dump the film onto the computer.

When we started to film, we had to rush the actors getting ready. We didn't know how long it would take to film and we wanted to have enough time. By the time we got to the park, the sun was almost starting to set so we had to work quickly. When we finished the day time parts, the sun hadn’t even set yet, so we went back to the house and filmed the inside parts. Once we had done all of that, we walked back to the park and the sun had started setting. This was the perfect time to start filming the rest. By the time the sun had fully set, which was the perfect setting we wanted. After we filmed those, we got the sparklers, filmed those parts and hoped for the best. Once we finished, we stayed for a bit longer and played with the rest of the sparklers as a reward. When we got back, it was time for everyone to leave soon. We really did get a lot of work done in around 3 hours.
