Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to use basic carpentry skills to assist with the construction of set elements for productions in the screen, media, entertainment and events industries.At this level, individuals are under broad supervision and are expected to act autonomously within established parameters as they use hand and power tools, and a range of materials and techniques, to create simple set elements, such as flats and treads.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 basic set construction materials.

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

3.3 Contribute to evaluations of set construction processes and note ways to improve own work performance

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.

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.
