Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Determine requirements for costume accessories
   • In consultation with relevant personnel, interpret design sketches and other production documentation to determine the type of 2D and 3D accessories required
   • Undertake research to establish broad parameters for accessory construction, including availability of fabrications
   • Use research material appropriately to adapt styles for specific productions
2. Develop specifications for accessories
   • Through experimentation and testing, determine the equipment, tools, fabrications and techniques to be used
   • Determine correct quantity and cost of fabrications required for construction to ensure efficient use of resources
   • Produce accurate working drawings and specifications for accessories
   • Seek assistance from other departments or personnel as required
3. Produce accessories
   • Construct accessories according to design specifications and production requirements
   • Use appropriate methods and techniques to achieve required dimensions and shape
   • Use equipment, tools and materials according to work health and safety procedures and environmental considerations
   • Seek feedback from relevant personnel on work in progress and refine accessories as required
4. Finalise accessories
   • Conduct fittings and identify, record and action required adjustments
   • Attach trims and finish accessories according to production requirements and timelines

Performance Evidence
