After having a useful team bonding day, today was different. The wheater was perfect for filming so I took advantage. At around 10:30 ish I was the first to arrive at the park. Since I live close to our film location, I thought it would be important to claim a spot before other people show up. Luckily there were lots of open fields and no one was going to get in our way. After 15 minutes, the rest of the group showed up, and we were ready to begin. At first, we were nervous and kept messing up. I realized we were trying maybe a little too hard and it seemed forced.
