How blind people get around

Me and my group knew it was essential to research how blind people move around and make do with their surroundings and day to day experiences. After looking at this short video we see from the blind persons point of view how he manages to get by and what sort of obstacles stand in his way-we wanted to make our film as realistic as possible, in doing this we knew we would either have to closely look at real blind peoples lives or question some- we know disabillity is a sensitive subject so we agreed it might of been easier to watch instead of putting the person on the spot and asking them how the do certain things. The video gives a clear example of 'one day in the life of a blind person' we specifically choose to use this clip as it is a clear resembeleence of our character kieran in terms of him going to school ect ect. we made good use of some things we picked up on in our film from the clip-we saw props such as a walking stick, unsteady walking pattern. we see at exactly (0.33 seconds) in to the clip someone comes over to help this is a CLEAR example of how we wanted to show kierans mother smothering him and feelling some sort of duty over him which he did not like. we learnt as we went along that blind people hate special treatment, they just want to be normal and seen as any other person in society.
