Today I did my last interview, this was most enjoyable again. Firstly I met this guys who seemed like a tough shell from the outset. I set up my camera in his living room using his window as my lighting. I wanted him to feel comfortable whilst being interviewed so I sat him down on his favorite arm chair. As with my other interviews I gave him a brief of the questions that I was going to ask him, this gave me a structure. He responded with a thick heavy Cypriot accent which I soon got used to. I was very intrigued into what he had to say, he was a lot more balanced in favor to the Greek Cypriots and had a great disliking towards the mainland Turks. After the first few questions he became more relaxed and I feel his true thoughts came out on camera. He is a very dedicated man to his country and very patriotic, this really came through whilst I was asking him questions. I think that somewhat he surprised himself in the topic and manner in which he spoke.
All in all this was a very interesting insight into the Turkish invasion. I am looking forward into going over the footage and whittling down my edit into the final film.
