Hello,
I am a student Filmmaker currently working on my junior production. The main character is a deaf spy. I was hoping someone could help me out and give me some ideas of how a deaf person might use their heightened senses to help them navigate through an apartment in with they where trying to gather information from. Thank you!
 
I had to go back and look for my response to this in another thread...


What senses need to be heightened to search an apartment? Anyone with training can become more aware of the things in an apartment and what their arrangement might mean. You don't need hearing to search an apartment. Maybe hearing might cause distraction if someone was standing next to you yapping the whole time. :roll: Perhaps the deaf spy notices a pen/flash drive on the table. Or notices a picture slightly crocked. or notices foot prints in the recently vacuumed room. or wait, I got one... super vibration sensing! Our Deaf hero takes his (or her) shoes off and senses the vibrations of the person that was recently in the room and follows their path around the apartment. :D
 
Oh! Can I play the part of "Man Walks Dog" in your movie!?!? I will even provide my very own dog!!! :D
 
Film dude...deaf people aren't mutants. We don't have heightened senses. We simply use what we have...
 
Oh! you can have a deaf guy (or girl) get bitten by a spider! Oh wait, that's kind of already taken...

Maybe if you call him SpiderDeaf no one would notice the similarities? :D

:shock: Sunny? Are you feeling any tingling spidy senses yet? :shock:

We might want to keep our distance for a few days. There is no telling how powerful she might become. She might not even know her own strength yet. :hmm:
 
What was that movie called. With the blind superhero?? ahhh "Daredevil" is the name of it.

You might get a response like this....
Some advocates are happy to see a blind superhero come to the big screen and believe Daredevil is a generally positive portrayal of the blind and visually impaired. But they also have one important message: Blind people do not need super powers to be self-sufficient and lead normal lives.

"You tend to get this 'superhero' portrayal. This 'look at what they've done' over and over again, when in reality, there are lots of blind people out there doing lots of things," said Brent Hopkins, communications specialist for the American Foundation for the Blind. "They are normal people who enjoy everyday, normal things. … To live with a disability, you don't have to be a superhero."
