 * Questions to ask: **

Aunt and Uncle 1. Since all convenience stores have the same items for relatively the same price what do you do to make sure you get your share of customers in this street with plenty of competition? 2. Do you think it is beneficial to have your business on a busy street or is it less beneficial due to the competition? 3. How do you compete with other local convenience stores?

Part time job employee 3. Do you think your opening hours have any impact on sales – that is to say, do you think being open for 24 hours, but paying increased salary to workers would be beneficial? 4. Does a specific time of the day impact the income – in a 24 hour span, when is the peak, if any?

Boss of a convenience store with not much competition 5. There are sponsored advertisements at certain stores – as a conveience store tends to have something for any age group – are the advertisements directed at any? 6. What are the advantages and disadvantages of the location your are in?

Both of us work on scripts and ideas that are to be written down on video chat or through screen sharing and so we are both able to contribute both of our ideas to the table and are able to make sure that we agree with the ideas of the other person. Whilst filming we both plan to go to interview the interviewee in order to ensure that we both stay on task with what is happening and are both able to have equal parts of the work load, and if one person is unable to do one interview, then she will be in charge of one of the other ones. We both plan on editing the documentary, by sending it to each other for confirmation, and because Jenny came up with the idea that our documentary is based upon, Ashley will do the major editing first since one person should start the editing process in order to make the whole process more efficient. media type="youtube" key="budIzmMiwCA" height="315" width="500" media type="youtube" key="3doYWvqNwmA" height="315" width="500"
