Tutorials four and five Occupational Deprivation


Tutorial Four:
  • Technical description of the planning for the video
  • The video we decided to do was of a wheelchair user and their occupational deprivation.
  • We decided to make it black and white like a Carlie Chaplin movie.
  • We used a motorised wheelchair although we had planned to use a manual.
  • Everyone in the group was given a job to do.
  • We had an experienced photographer which was an asset.
  • One person organised the shots and what they were of, which took a lot of planning.
  • We had three actors, one was in the chair and two others who were in the fire scene and outside, other people helped with the editing and set up.
  • We decided to film the wheelchair user in the toilet with tripod.
  • Then in the hallway as if there was a fire to show how difficult it is for a wheelchair user to leave the building.
  •  We went outside to some stairs to show the stairs as inaccessible for the wheelchair user.
  •  Lastly we went to the library and filmed the wheelchair user reaching for a book to show its limitations.                  
It did not take very long to film, we built a sequence.  The editing was also done very quickly due to the efficiency of the group and we put in some credits for the group.  We used on screen graphics and titles as part of thescripting and the film showed moods, facial expressions and movements. The setting was in the library and around G Block.

Finally we have our video Occupational Deprivation. Not all people are given equal opportunities to participate in their chosen occupations according to Christiansen and Townsend (2010).
