Tutorial 4: Video Production

In class we were set the task of creating as short film portraying a theme. The theme of our film was occupational deprivation,  which is a state of prolonged preclusion from engagement occupations of necessity or meaning due to factors that are outside the control of an individual such as  geographical isolation, incarceration, or disability" (Christansen & Townsend, 2010).

Our film was called based around the life of a poor student. Being a student means you are often deprived of money, time, and sleep.  Our film begins out with a chubby student, starting her years out down in Dunedin, and finding herself not able to buy the food she wants, participate in leisure activities such as the movies, and sleep in. all this deprivation pays off though as we then see her  with her degree, working hard and a lot skinner! The moral of the story, deprivation isn’t always a bad thing.
