Occupational deprivation video


As a part of our participation in occupation paper, we created a video on using a video recording device and video editing software. We sat around in our video production group and discussed what we wanted to focus on and decided on occupational deprivation in relation to how one with an impairment resulting in the use of wheelchair could be excluded and deprived from doing certain occupations. Occupational deprivation refers to external situations and environments that prevent an individual participating or enjoying an occupation over an extended period of time (Christiansen & Townsend, 2010). We came up for ideas around how we could portray occupational deprivation for a wheelchair user and what locations we would like to film in. We split into two groups, one for filming and one for producing the slides and other pieces we wanted to incorporate into our short film. There was a point in the film making where I realized the gravity of the situation in being in a wheelchair in the case of a fire. The wheelchair user (if up flights of stairs) would have to stay up on the landing until the fire crew or warden could come and get them. Not a nice thought. We recorded all the sessions then edited them with iMovie editing software to create the film you just viewed!
