Our film starts off with a little girl, Viccy, being dropped off
at Kindergarten by her dad, this is then merged into a screen shot of her
playing with a friend. In the next shot Viccy and her friend have grown up they
are now in primary school and this is shown by their independence in crossing
the road alone, this is then merged into a screenshot of the girls doing some
school work. As Viccy continues to grow we see her reach High school with her
friends - this is shown by their interest in Bebo and technology, this is then
merged into a screenshot of Viccy and a group of friends all chatting and using
cell phones. We see Viccy next in university with an armload of books, this is
then merged into a screenshot of her drowning in a pile of paperwork and
assignments. Next we see Viccy continue to grow up as we see her in a work
environment, this is then merged into a screenshot of her working at her desk.
Finally we see Viccy at retirement age, this is then merged into a screenshot
of her knitting.
Our
team’s short film was based on the concept of Occupational Transition.
Occupational Transition is defined as “Circumstances creating a change in the nature
or type of occupational engagement pursued by or available to an individual. (Christiansen
& Townsend, 2010). We decided to demonstrate occupational transition
through education and the changes in occupation this can bring.
Our
group worked really well together. When we were given the four concepts we discussed
which one we wanted and threw about ideas on how we could portray the concept
on film. We came to an agreement on occupational transition and how we could
show this through education and its occupational change over time. With the concept decided we allocated a director,
cameramen, story boarders, prop bringers and actors. As a group we collaborated
with the story boarders to draw/write up a base idea of what we were going to
film and we showed this to James. Once our idea was given the OK we got straight
into filming the next time we were together. As we had already planned our
filming the process was easy. Our director had good ideas on how to film and
when to have still images merged in with filming. As we had the OT storeroom at
our disposal we were able to find good props and use them well in the film.
