Occupational Deprivation Whiteford (2000) states that “Occupational deprivation is a relatively new term which describes a state in which people are precluded from opportunities to engage in occupations of meaning due to factors outside their control. As we face the new millennium, it seems likely that, due to widespread social and economic change as well as increasing civil unrest, occupational deprivation will be experienced by increasing numbers of people globally”.
This short clip was produced to illuminate some of the daily difficulties that a person with disability faces, and that these continuing difficulties can lead to “Occupational deprivation”. The brief planning period involved brainstorming ideas and methods of delivery, as well as storyboarding the scenes. The actors Gareth and Pip under the watchful eye of Brad (cameraman) and myself (in the director’s chair) completed filming in single takes. After a brief but involved editing session (using Windows Live Movie Maker) and the creation and addition of its soundtrack, we were left with this light hearted look at a more serious issue.
