Tutorial four
Video production
This was a very interesting
and fun task to do. For this task
we had to obviously create a short film.
Our film was called the life of a poor student. The life of a poor student was based around
occupational deprivation and how a female occupational therapy student was
deprived of money, which means she was unable to participate in activities that
she wished. Occupational
deprivation is defined as “A state of prolonged
preclusion from engagement occupations of necessity or meaning due to
factors outside the control of an individual such as through geographical
isolation, incarceration or disability" (Christansen & townsend,
2010). Firstly we decided this
topic would be relevant as we are all ‘poor Otago students’ and we know how it
is to be deprived of something that we want oooohhh so much due to money, for
example that one pair of shoes that you want, the ring you want which is way
out of your price range and that one movie that you would die to see but cant
because you cant afford it.
The
way we portrayed this film was a occupational therapy student studying hard and
not having enough money to participate in leisure activities with her friends,
having to get up early for class and unable to buy food, all due to the lack of
money she had. The life of a poor
student ended with the girl graduating with honors from occupational therapy,
due to the sacrifices she made to get what she deserved and what she
wanted. Through occupational
deprivation there are positives and negatives in the long run you may get what
you want but in the short term picture you may be deprived of something that
you want now.
