Video Production Sessions

For this weeks project, we were asked to work in small groups to create a video surrounding the theme ‘occupational deprivation’ and ‘occupational disruption’. Occupational deprivation is said by Christainsen & Townsend (2010) to be an environmental, geographical or economic circumstance that prevents a person engaging in occupations. Occupational disruption is linked to occupational deprivation as the individual cannot partake in a chosen occupation, but disruption is a much shorter time period in which the individual has some form of control over (Christainsen & Townsend, 2010).

In our video we have identified occupational deprivation as well as occupational disruption within the student life. This was a common theme in our group as we have all left our home environments and occupations to become students. Student life has not only deprived us from our prior occupations but has also disrupted our occupations as we immerse ourselves in our studies and ‘student life activities’.

Although our storyboard is very different from our final product, we kept the same theme and with time running out we sent members of our group out with a camera taking footage of a few Dunedin student (scarfy) moments (the well behaved study orientated ones of course).  Enjoy!
