Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Plan implementation of production designs
   • Analyse designs and production schedules to determine overall requirements
   • In consultation with relevant personnel, identify factors to be taken into account when planning the implementation of designs
   • Reflect on methods, techniques and materials that could be used to produce an effective visual interpretation of designs that take account of the effects of lighting
   • Develop contingency plans to minimise the impact of unexpected events on the realisation of production designs
   • Reach agreement on evaluation methods for monitoring progress
   • Incorporate work health and safety procedures and environmental factors into planning processes
   • Develop and document, in an agreed format, work plans for realising production designs
2. Organise resources
   • Develop realistic expenditure estimates that conform to budget allocations
   • Hire or purchase required resources according to organisational procedures
   • Identify potential budget overruns and resolve or recommend alternatives to relevant personnel
   • Organise staff and contractors to complete work in line with industry award guidelines and production deadlines
3. Supervise pre-production operations
   • Brief team members on work plans and allocate responsibilities
   • Identify and respond to problems promptly in consultation with relevant personnel
   • Monitor work progress and implement contingency plans as required to ensure that production deadlines are met
   • Participate in rehearsals and trials to establish the best way to achieve the required effects and adjust work methods accordingly
   • Update documentation to reflect agreed adjustments and distribute to relevant personnel promptly
4. Finalise work operations
   • Check that production elements have been fire-proofed according to safety requirements
   • Label production elements correctly to facilitate their identification during productions
   • Supervise the transport and storage of production elements as required
   • Involve team members in evaluations of pre-production operations and modify procedures as required
   • Contribute to evaluation of productions and implement recommendations aimed at improving overall effectiveness of the process for realising production designs

Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to:

plan and supervise the implementation of production designs in selected area of expertise for at least one production or event

apply effective problem-solving techniques to the realisation of production designs

work collaboratively.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided for each of the above points at least once.

Knowledge Evidence

To complete the unit requirements the individual must:

describe issues and challenges that typically arise when realising production designs in selected area of expertise, and suggest ways of addressing them

describe the main features of a range of materials used in selected area of expertise

describe costing, budgeting and estimating techniques

provide examples of work health and safety and legislative and regulatory requirements that are relevant to the process of realising production designs

describe the process for the safe handling of hazardous materials in selected area of expertise

explain how lighting affects materials used to realise production designs and provide examples of how to adapt techniques to take account of the effects of lighting.
