First Idea.


 Outside of school, I have hobbies such as street photography. I often capture pictures of homeless people as they make such a powerful statement especially in photography. Below are some of the pictures I've taken before this project which also lead me to inspiration for my documentary film. Before I take pictures of them, I talk to them and buy them hot food. Getting to know them is interesting because most people would expect that they all have the same life story and that they aren't doing anything to make a change. This gave me the idea to do a documentary film on a specific homeless person and get in insight on their life. I felt that this would be a powerful documentary that changes people perspectives on the homeless. With a lot of thought and days of research on homeless people and documentaries on them, I was unsure if I should still carry this short film out. Planning film dates would be difficult as the person I wish to interview did not have a phone. I would also have to provide transport money along with other things. If this person did not show up at an arranged date or time that would jeopardise my whole project. So finally, I decided not to go through with this idea. However it still inspired me to document another social issue.
