The second round of filming was far more successful than the first. As we were keeping most of the shot angles and the director was the same, we had a easy time doing the filming. The experience we collected from the first round of filming was extremely beneficial in this round of filming, as we took a far shorter time to complete each scene. We also cut short most of the long scenes, mainly in order to create more film effects but also partly for the benefit of the actors. This allowed us to aviod the '26 takes record' we had in the first round of filming. While the first round of filming took 5 nights of hard-core filming, this time we only took 2 nights of focused and concentrated shooting. It was surprising to our team as well.

Instead of using a real HDB flat, we changed our set to the Boarding School as it was much more convenient for the teachers. We were also allowed to view the talented actors we had as teachers, which was a real eye-opener.

The equipment that we were allowed in this round of filming was also very beneficial for our film.We were now able to adjust the light exposure, the colour, and the focus to suit our filming needs. The greatly enhanced resolution of this camera also boosted our film a great deal. As for the audio effects, the boom mike used allowed us to catch conversations even in the most populated and noisy environments, such as in the MacDonalds scene in the film, which we failed to do in the first round.
