Last day of filming
The last day of filming commenced on the 10th of January where we first filmed in a science lab, though, we only did one shot, a side shot. We filmed that a couple of times because both the couple couldn't stop laughing and with the disappearing act, we kept on forgetting to tell the boy to stay still as we filmed him and move away. Later that day I went to Artiola's house in order to film the bedroom scene. We decided to have the room dimly lit and made sure to add some lighting to her face. We only did a medium shot of this where she was lying on her side facing the camera and looking as if she was crying, then we would turn onto her back and stare at the ceiling. We had to do this a couple of times because sometimes she would laugh, most times she would smile and look into the camera accidentally.

Fourth time of filming
It was the 6th of January and we decided to film my singing scene again though, this time at a drama studio which, was situated in my school. We fixed the lights to make sure there were no shadows on my body and we couldn't see Artiola's either, as she was filming me. We closed the black curtain behind me and played the song in the background on YouTube. We began with a long shot and filmed that a couple of times. The other shots we filmed were:
- Close ups
- Side shots
- Medium shots
- Low angle shots
We filmed all of those a couple of times because I either laughed or moved out of the shot when it was a close up. Also, the most important bit was that even if I was to forget my lyrics which, I had numerous of times, I was meant to keep on going because it would be easy to just cut the bad scenes out and put in the good singing scenes.

Third time of filming
We filmed another park scene though, this time it was me sitting on a bench singing the lyrics of the song and playing the guitar. Since, the sun was setting there was a brilliant shot to take so, Artiola did a point of view shot as I was walking around in the grassy areas with the guitar. Then she did a long shot of me walking into the distance or into the sun until I disappeared in the shade. Then I was to sit on a bench and Artiola first got a long shot of me singing. Then we filmed it again and got a medium shot. Once we filmed those a couple of times we got a side shot. At times the music would stop and we would have to film all over again which did take a lot of time especially since it was getting darker and we needed the natural light. Then we decided to do close up shots, so I got a close up of my face and also, my lips.
