Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Prepare for set construction
   • Liaise with supervisor to determine set construction requirements
   • Select materials for set construction according to supervisor’s instructions
   • Calculate quantities of required materials, avoiding waste where possible
   • Select equipment and tools according to materials being used and type of set construction required
2. Assist with the construction of set elements
   • Assist with the construction of set elements using a range of basic techniques
   • Complete set construction tasks in a logical sequence
   • Follow safety procedures throughout the set construction process according to organisational requirements
   • Work cooperatively with other team members to ensure efficiency and quality of set elements
3. Review outcomes of work
   • Seek feedback on work in progress and adjust as required
   • Identify problems with work in progress promptly, and take action within scope of responsibility
   • Contribute to evaluations of set construction processes and note ways to improve own work performance

Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to:

construct simple set elements for at least one production

meet work deadlines

follow safety procedures

work cooperatively with others.

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:

the types of materials used for set construction and the reasons for selecting different materials

common types of joint and assembly techniques used in set construction and the contexts in which they are used

the set construction context in which the following issues apply; explaining what needs to be done from a work health and safety perspective:

fireproofing

safe manual-handling techniques

using hand and power tools

working with hazardous substances.
