Occupational Disruption. Video production part one.

This weeks task was to create a 1minute video about a chosen topic. The topics we had to chose from were:

• Occupational Justice
• Occupational Disruption
• Occupational Transition
• Occupational Deprivation

My group consisted of Craig, Eliane, Shannon and Myself. As a team we decided to work on the topic of Occupational Disruption.

Occupational Disruption is described by Christansen and Townsend (2010) as  'A transient or temporary condition of being restricted from participation in necessary or meaningful occupations, such as that caused by illness, temporary relocation, or temporary unemployment'.

Because we are students who like to think outside the box we decided not to use ourselves in this video production but add life to Shannon's old barbie dolls. 
This idea did not go down to well with Craig the only male in our group but he came around once we explained the plot.

In this movie Barbie loves to dance, but then one night as she is walking home she gets run over by a drunk driver and loses her leg.
Barbie is so upset in hospital (you can even see her tears) that she will never be able to dance again. This is when Barbie OT comes into the picture and shows her that she could get a prosthetic leg.
This delights Barbie and before you know it she is out dancing with her friends once again.

Our team worked very well together, taking turns at being barbie whilst Craig videoed the entire sequence. The filming was a lot of fun and lots of laughs. Eliane then did amazing film editing and she came up with our final video.

Hope you enjoy.
