Week 4 - 17/03/17 - 3:10 am	Today we had finished the pre-production and task 2b. We have planned to start filming on the 27th.
Week 5 -  05/04/17 - 1:30 pm	This week we wanted to film our documentary so we had to book a table for the 5th of April  at 1:30 pm. The reason why I booked it early was, because we didn't want to film at the busy times as the sound would have been poor, but also we wanted get a table next to the windows as of the lighting. This was our production role. We believe myself and Dimitar both worked in a professional matter.
Week 6 - 10/04/17 - 9:00 am	Dimitar started to edit the footages, and realised that we had enough footages such as over 45 minutes and he deleted the ones that we didn't want. For an example, if the presenter had the same opinions as before.
