Video production session

It was so much fun planning and making this video! We used the idea occupational deprivation. Our film was based on the life of a poor student, the troubles that she goes through from not having enough money. the film is called the life of a poor student. occupation deprivation is  " 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) first we picked what idea we would use then we thought how it effects us as students. Then we planned out how we would portray this through a one minute film then we got to it and started filming. The film shows the student unable to buy food, having to get up early and go to class it also shows her unable to partake in leisure activities with her friends because of cost constraints. This film ends in the student graduating with honours from her degree and she is looking healthy and happy. The film shows the sacrifice that the student makes to gain her degree and in the end it shows that the sacrifice of different occupations worked in the long run and she ended up getting what she deserved.
