Filmed in one building, Kyser Hall in Northwestern State University. Nearly all of the hallway shots were filmed on the third floor. The only ones that weren't were the shots of Cory running up the short flight of steps to the crossroads. These were shot on the first floor, same as the classroom.
A misunderstanding with an ill-tempered professor lead to the inability to use the previously reserved classroom just one day before shooting. An hour of frantic searching across the campus later and Cameron had found a replacement classroom to shoot in thanks to a kind science professor whom Cameron had previously had. Her name was later put into the Special Thanks To section of the credits.
Filmed on two separate days, a Friday and Saturday, in May, the final weekend of the three main members' ( Cameron Metrejean, Alexandra Cobb, and Cory Germany) before their graduation one week later.
The classroom was originally supposed to have much more students in it. Cameron had put up 3 fliers in NSU's theatre building as well as several on Facebook advertising a need for extras. No one responded.
While this initially worried Cameron as it didn't support the song's lyric "When you see yourself in a crowded room," he eventually grew to like it stating "Wouldn't you be much more panicked knowing you're one of the last people taking a test in a classroom that held many more students?"

For the shot when Cory looks down at his pocket while leaving the classroom Cory Germany had to stand on a stool to achieve the right angle.
