Planning of our short film

Large group but we worked well together, decide on occupational deprivation. Someone point out the difficulty of using the wheelchair entrance at Knox church. It was on the side of the hill. Would struggle if doing a wheel chair transfer on the side of the steep hill or if you did it on the flat you would struggle to get up the hill to the entrance. Preplanning needs to be done for wheelchair access. But reality kicked in and we all realised a two hour class session wouldn’t allow us enough time, so we worked around the polytechnic. The aid of the storyboard helped as we had a rough picture of what we wanted to achieve from the film. Scripting was not used, rather we use captions to emphasise our occupation deprivation. An interesting point from our lecture, which you just leave people in wheelchairs on the landing and the fire warden, has to get them out. Hard thing to do, our whole occupation therapy profession is about helping people out.
