Final task: plan for the questions in my second interview

I recently posted a blog where I introduced my second subject to the documentary. Of course, with my first interview, I had already done a preliminary task with the same subject, so I already had an idea about what types of questions I should ask, however, I haven't ever done an interview with this subject before; so I will need to plan the questions that I will be asking in my interview. I want to keep the same structure of the interview as the first one, by cutting down the number of questions, therefore allowing much more focus on individual topics. 

The subject has a background in charity work, which I believe is a key aspect of this interview. I have already stated in my introduction I don't plan to ask very personal questions about this subject, but more in fact questions about which answers are solutions to this crisis. Meaning I will be asking questions such as...

If you were me, how would you help my friend Alexei?

If you were Alexei, what would you do to try and escape the trap of loneliness?

How should people deal with loneliness?

As before I want to keep on the topic of loneliness, meaning that the interviews will both be fluid and transparent within the documentary. I will later post a blog that has the finished and confirmed questions that I will be asking in my final interview.

Vertov

Dziga Vertov was a pioneering Soviet documentary film and newsreel filmmaker as well as a cinema theorist. He was born in Russia, with the name David Abelevich Kaufman but he often went by the name Denis Kaufman. He was born on 2 January 1896 and died on 12 February 1954. His filming techniques and theories influenced the Dziga Vertov Group, a radical filmmaking collective active from 1968 to 1972, as well as the cinéma vérité style of documentary filmmaking. His most famous film was Man with a Movie Camera (1929). This film portrays a day in a Russian city, however, it was filmed in several cities over 4 years. Vertov was heavily influenced by Eisenstein's use of montage and his aesthetic was driven by his political beliefs as a communist. Vertov believed that film truth should be captured, which is fragments of the actuality that, when organized together, have a deeper truth that cannot be seen by normal people. Vertov's Kino-Pravda focused on everyday experiences, eschewing ...
