Studio Brief 4, Talking to The homeless

Our action plan on what we were going to say and how we were going to approach the situation:

> Buy some food e.g some burgers from burger king to offer to people,  buy a few bars of chocolate as well and some dog treats for those who have dogs.
> Don't mention that the project we are doing is specifically about homeless people as this may offend them, say that it is more generally about the people of Leeds.
> Ask them if they mind us asking questions before doing so

The Questions:
> What do you like to be called, nickname or first name?
> What is your favourite drink: hot and cold?
>  What is your favourite food?
> Where do you usually hang out?

> After finishing the questions ask them if it is ok to take a photo of them

After talking to the first person we realised that asking to take a photograph of them would be too invasive as some of them were a bit reluctant to give their names or even answer our questions therefore we decided against taking photos. Instead we plan on drawing some images from memory. However as everyone told us where they usually hang out this makes it easy for people to find them.
