After a few weeks we finally got to arrange a shooting schedule with Galuh. We were shooting at La Trobe University which is located in Bundoora. Luckily, Jerry got a ride so transportation is not a big deal for us.

Arriving at La Trobe, it was our first time there, we were lost and had no idea where to go with all the heavy equipments. We were close from getting fine ticket but thanks to Rizky who's acting is a genius we know that we had to buy a parking ticket.

So we met Galuh at the library and she introduced us to one of her friends who is also a deaf. We were planning to take some footage on the library but apparently we had problems with permission issue.

Finish with the footage, we went to the back side of the Agora or the center of the university, and did a quite long interview with the help of two interpreters and Galuh's husband. We did the interview with 2 different cameras (PD170 & Z7). We kinda regret our decisions, we should've used 2 Z7s instead. To make it worse, the one in PD 170 is the main angle of the interview and it is out of focus from the first question to the last. Thank God, we re-did the few last questions!

Observational Exercise

What's it like to be surrounded by heaps of hi-tech equipments on such a quite basement?

Me and Diane went underground observing the life of the techs guys, or guy, doing their things dealing with all sorts of electronic devices. Waiting for students to come picking up or dropping off the gear. Working on technical faulty on the devices.
