3. How long have you been doing this for?

Since we will mainly be asking locals, they may not understand English. Therefore Kazia and Robert have opted to translate the questions in Chinese (I cannot speak Cantonese), and Robert will be the interviewer.

EQUIPMENT:
Camera; Isabella's DSLR Canon EOS 550D
Tripod; Isabella
Mic; /
Unfortunately, we were unable to borrow a mic because no one had the available time to go and borrow one.
~~~~~~~~
TOMORROW WE MUST:
- Meet INSIDE THE SHAU KEI WAN MTR STATION by HANG SENG BANK
- Bring money for MTR and Lunch
- Charge all phones
- Charge all equipment needed
- Print questions out
- WEAR SCHOOL UNIFORM AND BRING STUDENT ID (So interviewees can believe this is for a school project, as we are working on a public holiday).
We also exchanged phone numbers.

Overall, I am very excited to film tomorrow and I hope we capture as much footage as possible that help convey our message.
