Week0 My First Task
On my first week of working on the camera hack I have started to take the camera apart and the inner workings are now visible. First two screws on the bottom of the camera need to be taken off to get the bottom metal plate off. Now the gears are visible in the camera.

Week1 Narrative
To open the back of the camera the top left nob needs to be pulled all the way up.Then the film is exposed in the back. To take the back flap completely off, the black plastic that wraps around the whole camera needs to be peeled off. Then screws that are in the hing on the side of the camera are visible unscrew these and the back panel can be taken off. Next, the rest of the black plastic needs to be peeled off to get to the screws behind it. These screws hold the front circular metal frame on. Once this is taken off more of the springs and inner workings are visible. The camera still functions correctly with all of these parts taken off. On the top of the camera there was a dial that could also be taken off. I unscrewed the top of it the removed the spring underneath that.Then I was able to take the gears off.
