Behind-the-Scenes: Filming the Walking Tour

As part of our Living Together research project, we’re creating a walking tour of three local collective housing residences in our community. The walking tour will take place in early 2023, beginning at RMIT PlaceLab Brunswick. We’re very excited about this project and we’re looking forward to sharing more details soon! Until then, here’s a a behind-the-scenes look of filming some of the interviews.

We will walk to each residence to watch a pre-recorded video interview with a resident to learn about their experiences and peek inside their home and the communal spaces of the residences. Pre-recording the interview protects the privacy of the residents who are taking part in the project, while also increasing the accessibility for people to participate in the walking tour through a digital option able to be viewed online.

Combining a walking tour with watching the filmed interviews allows us to see how the residences are situated in their neighbourhood and the proximity to local amenities. We will watch and discuss the films “in situ” to learn more about what it’s like to live in collective housing.
