Tutorial Four: Video Production Sessions


I found this tutorial a lot of fun! There was many laughs shared by myself and my three other group members in the making of this short film!

As a group we were given the topic: 'Occupation Disruption'. This is defined as: "...the transient or temporary inability to engage in occupations due to life events, environmental changes or acute illness or injury" (Molineux, 2004). 



After I managed to dig out ALL of my old barbies and barbie things we got to work on what we thought was a very creative idea to portray our idea of occupation disruption. As we had already sat down and planned what we would do for the video we all had a clear idea of what our end product may be like. All four of us had an active part in planning and creating this video. We had small hurdles to jump such as one male member of the group wanting to re-live his childhood and 'blow the barbies up' (haha) and also not being able to get the barbies to stay straight or being able to push the barbie car in a straight line. Thankfully one of my group members is very skilled in film editing so she was able to finish off and perfect our video.

In this video the main barbie experiences occupation disruption when she is hit by a drunk driver and loses a leg. This disrupts her ability to be involved in her occupation of dancing. Thankfully an O.T helps her out and gives her a prosthetic leg so that she can continue to dance with her friends.

Happy viewing, I hope you enjoy it :)
