Zola, Abbel and I, decided to create a short interview for our Speaking and Listening. Zola was the interviewer, I was the war hero being interviewed and Abbel was the cameraman. The clip was for a war hero and the theme was loneliness and guilt. We decided to show this by asking questions about how he felt at the time and after the time of the war in Afganistan. We showed guilt during this interview as the person being interviewed, was asked questions about the people he had killed during the war. This showed guilt and regret as he believed he was doing the right thing at the time by protecting and fighting for his country, but now that he thinks about it, he believes he was in the wrong as he was killing people who believed that they were also doing the right thing.

Loneliness was shown during the interview as a question was asked if the war hero was getting any counciling now that he had arrived back in England, but no was the answer. This made the audience believe that he was alone as he has nobody to talk to and is suffering from post-war depression. He feels that he has nobody to open up to and help him through his troubles.

Altogether, I think that the clip was a success and that we had shown all of the necessary feelings and emotion for the task we had been set.
If you get a chance, you should watching it, it’s good!

    I really like the way that you have reflected on your work here. I agree that you have demonstrated the themes convincingly. Consider writing about how this links to the ideas of Nietzsche and your reading of ‘Touching the Void.’
