I tried to think of things that weren't too literal to 'A point of view' yet seemed to struggle quite a bit. I started to think of my personal life and what was going on there, hoping for some inspiration. I thought about the struggles that my family has been through over the past year, this then developed onto the idea of seeing the view of someone who is worse off than you and once I had this idea in my head, there was no changing my mind!
Recently I've had a new look on life after receiving lot's of bad news from my personal life. I've been appreciating things a lot more and not taking as many things as what I did, for granted. I wanted my video to be a little reminder to people that we shouldn't take things for granted because you never know when it all might be taken away from you.
I had the idea of interviewing a homeless person to see how much their life has changed since becoming homeless and asking them what made them happy throughout the years, I wanted to document the change in the things that made this person happy, for example when this person was in their early 30's they might have had a decent job, a family, a pet, these things at this time would have made that person happy where as now maybe the things that make this person happy are littler things such as a person wishing them good day or someone handing them a half eaten sandwich.
I want to show other people that no matter how little you have, there will always be something that makes you happy, even if it is the smallest thing that you would have never thought of.
