I had a change of thought the other night and decided against interviewing a homeless person, this was due to a talk I had with a Media student. Ryan, the media student that I was speaking to said he had to produce a similar sort of video to what I'm doing, well similar in the way that it involved interviewing a homeless person so I asked him how it went and all he had to say about it were negatives. ''None of the homeless people we asked would contribute'', ''We were told to go away'', ''Everyone had their eye on us thinking we were up to no good.'' These words had put me off attempting it myself so I spent that night coming up with alternative ideas. I came up with the idea of asking random people of all ages to write down what makes them happy whilst I secretly judged them on what sort of a person they were, this was obviously a very brief and initial thought.
The night after I had another thought and realised with my new approach of just asking members of the public what made them happy, I was losing my 'inside out' point of view so then decided to go back to interviewing a homeless person as well as asking other people what makes them happy and asking them to write it down.
I will look at some stats of what age groups seem to be the happiest and why and put it to the test next time I go into Manchester.
I'm not sure exactly what my final focus is going to be so by taking multiple routes when I'm out there, I can have a wider choice of the end product!
