8. Evaluation
 After serious consideration and detailed analysis, as a group we decided
that the best option is version 3.
The main reason behind our decision is humorous approach towards the story
and the topic.
Both of us are fully aware that this story will be complicated to depict trough
medias point of view and documentary style, mainly because of number of
cast and various locations. Additional difficulty will be use of CGI during
postproduction.
