Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to develop construction plans and specifications to meet prop requirements for productions in the screen, media, entertainment and events industries.Individuals who apply these skills are expected to display a high level of initiative and judgement as they take a range of practical factors into account when planning the implementation of props designs.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

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 prop designs from which construction plans can be developed.

Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Interpret designs
  • Determine scope and nature of prop requirements with reference to production documentation
  • Identify which prop construction methods and techniques will lead to the best realisation of design concepts within budget constraints
  • Discuss potential practical construction problems with relevant personnel
  • Take account of potential solutions and develop creative responses to problems and limitations
  • Discuss and confirm construction requirements with relevant personnel
       
Element: Plan construction of props
  • In the planning process, take account of production and performance issues that could impact on the way props are constructed
  • In the planning process, take account of safety and regulatory issues that may affect the way in which props can be used
  • Produce accurate specifications and drawings to a level of detail sufficient to guide the construction process
  • Identify materials, tools and equipment required to construct props and provide cost estimates as required
       
Element: Finalise prop construction plan
  • Compile all information and drawings into final prop construction plans
  • Ensure that plans meet aesthetic requirements and provide an appropriate visual interpretation of props
  • Reach agreement on plans and communicate practical details for prop construction to relevant personnel in a timely fashion in order to meet deadlines and manage workflow efficiently

3.3 Reach agreement on plans and communicate practical details for prop construction to relevant personnel in a timely fashion in order to meet deadlines and manage workflow efficiently

Evidence of the ability to:

translate design concepts into creative and workable plans to construct props for at least two productions

communicate effectively with designers and creative personnel

develop accurate specifications and drawings as the basis for prop construction tasks.

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

To complete the unit requirements the individual must:

describe issues and challenges that typically arise when developing prop construction plans, and suggest ways to address them

describe techniques for creating prop construction plans and specifications from designs and other visual sources

explain how different construction methods are used to achieve a range of commonly required prop effects

provide examples of the cost of materials typically used to construct props

explain the impact work health and safety procedures have on the process of planning and constructing props.

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
