A single person viewpoint for the story means the entire storyis told through that person's eyes, ears, feelings and descriptions. There are usually several characters in a story so choosing the right one can be difficult. If you choose Dan, the murdered, you would have a different story than if you choose Steve, the detective. So when you sit down, you must decide whose story you want to tell. This can be an easy choice or a hard one.
Choosing the character who has the most to win makes for a different struggle than if you choose the person who has the most to lose. So wait until you decide what kind of story you plan to write before choosing a single viewpoint character to be the eyes and ears of the story.
You could also choose an outside observer to be the single viewpoint chracter. This outside character can see or hear different chanractere. But -- there;s always a but. This outside character can't know what the characters he's observing feel. He can't know what their interior problems bring to the story. Emotions other than the surface ones can;t; be shown since this outside observer isn't in any character's head.
