List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Interpret creative brief | 1.1 Analyse performance outlines and/or scripts to determine production concepts 1.2 Participate in preliminary concept meetings with relevant personnel to discuss lighting options and requirements 1.3 Identify factors that may determine and affect lighting design 1.4 Access and prepare relevant documentation and brief own lighting team on requirements |
2. Research lighting design concepts and technologies | 2.1 Identify and source references that may inform the design process 2.2 Analyse sources and references in context of design project 2.3 Evaluate impacts and potential of new and emerging technologies to inform the design 2.4 Collect, collate and adapt materials to develop initial design concepts |
3. Generate and assess lighting design ideas | 3.1 Generate a range of ideas for designs that respond sympathetically to the brief and different design elements, and provide creative solutions to technical lighting issues 3.2 Discuss ideas and collaborate with relevant personnel to maximise their contribution to initial concepts 3.3 Analyse ideas for implications on cost and time, technical feasibility, and their suitability for brief 3.4 Provide strategic lighting information that enhances production outcomes |
4. Develop and document lighting designs | 4.1 Consult with relevant personnel so additional or changed requirements and new ideas are considered and incorporated during the development of designs 4.2 Collaborate with relevant personnel to achieve consistent artistic interpretation 4.3 Evaluate initial concepts and select the most appropriate approach, in line with budget, research findings and ongoing reflection and discussion 4.4 Use initial concepts as the basis for developing lighting designs within the required timeframe that meet budget constraints, production schedules and relevant work health and safety (WHS) requirements, and other relevant factors 4.5 Complete documentation according to production requirements and enterprise procedures |
5. Finalise lighting design | 5.1 Present draft lighting plans and specifications to relevant personnel in an appropriate format and within required timeframes 5.2 Participate in initial and ongoing evaluation of draft designs 5.3 Negotiate and agree to modifications to designs and undertake necessary amendments 5.4 Agree to final designs and produce documentation to support implementation 5.5 Present final design, plans and specifications to relevant personnel and confirm all production requirements have been met |
Evidence of the ability to:
develop creative lighting designs that meet artistic and technical requirements and constraints of the production within required timeframe
use research to enhance interpretation and adaptation of design concepts when developing lighting design
generate a range of creative responses to lighting design brief based on research and collaboration
facilitate the design process with lighting team members and production personnel
develop detailed documentation, including costs of lighting design from initial idea to realisation.
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
explain the role of lighting design within the overall artistic direction of a production
describe key features and purpose of creative and technical elements of the lighting design process, and their impact during various phases of the production process
outline principles of script break-down as it relates to lighting design
identify formats for documenting lighting design
describe current and emerging technologies available to lighting designers
describe construction methods and implementation issues associated with realisation of lighting designs
discuss typical issues, problems and challenges of developing lighting designs and briefly describe solutions
describe the relationship between different design elements such as costume, sets, lighting, props and sound
explain work health and safety (WHS) legislation and regulations as they apply to lighting design and production.
Assessment must be conducted in a safe environment where evidence gathered demonstrates consistent performance of typical activities experienced in creative arts industry environments. The assessment environment must include access to:
performance outlines and/or scripts on which designs can be based
reference sources and materials relating to lighting design.
Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
