Video Production Sessions 1

During this tutorial we were asked to choose one concept that we were introduced to in Tutorial 1, our video production team chose Occupational Deprivation. Occupation Deprivation is described as an “Influence of external circumstances that prevents a person acquiring, using or enjoying occupation over an extended period of time” (Townsend & Wilcock, 2004).

We began with a story board of our chosen concept where a person would be deprived of completing occupations that were meaningful to them. We decided to use the quote “if you draw it for me, if you cut it for me, if you paint it for me, then all you are showing is that you can do it better than me”. We filmed one of our group members preforming all these occupations and then being pushed to the side by another to have it don’t for them – in turn depriving them of the occupation. It was important to produce a story board first to outline everyone’s role and ensure that all outcomes were achieved, and within the time frame allocated.
