Evidence Required
List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package. | |
Overview of assessment | |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | Evidence of the following is essential: ability to correctly and safely use techniques and processes to realise the creation of sets ability to interpret set designs and documentation in order to meet production requirements ability to interpret specifications correctly to determine appropriate construction techniques for a range of sets knowledge and understanding of the properties, applications and durability of different types of materials used to make set elements. This unit of competence applies to a range of industry sectors. The focus of assessment will depend on the industry sector. Assessment must be customised to meet the needs of the particular sector in which performance is being assessed. Assessment should only address those variable circumstances, listed in the range of variables statements, which apply to the chosen context. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | Assessment must ensure: access to a range of equipment as listed in the Range Statement access to materials, equipment and tools required to construct a range of set elements access to set specifications and drawings access to venues/locations in which sets can be constructed access to appropriate learning and assessment support when required the use of culturally appropriate processes, and techniques appropriate to the oracy, language and literacy capacity of the assessee and the work being performed. |
Method of assessment | The following assessment methods are appropriate for this unit: case studies to assess candidate's ability to determine construction techniques for a range of different set requirements evaluation of sets created by candidate in terms of construction quality and adherence to specifications oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of materials, safety issues and construction techniques review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate. |
Guidance information for assessment | Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example: CUFPPM403A Coordinate film and media production services and resources CUFSET301A Assemble and maintain sets MEM18001C Use hand tools. |

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.

Required skills |
communication skills sufficient to visualise and interpret creative concepts literacy skills sufficient to interpret production documentation, construction specifications, instructions and drawings numeracy skills sufficient to calculate measurements technical skills sufficient to: draw (including perspective/technical drawing and drawing to scale) safely handle hazardous materials typically used in set construction use a range of set construction equipment including hand and power tools use a range of set construction techniques (including carpentry and joinery) work with specialised materials |
Required knowledge |
behaviour of materials, finishes, painting techniques and colours under lighting and other production conditions copyright, moral rights and intellectual property issues and legislation current and emerging technology relevant to set construction legislative and organisational OHS standards in relation to set construction principles and techniques of set construction and painting properties and characteristics of materials before and after art finishing properties, applications and durability of materials used for set construction safe handling techniques for hazardous materials typically used in set construction testing finished and unfinished materials, such as fabric, leather, vinyl, plastic, foam, latex, found objects, straw, paper, and cardboard |
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included. | |
Relevant personnel may include: | designer/production designer director (photography, technical) floor manager head of department performers producer set construction/production personnel set supervisor/manager specialist/technical staff |
Set construction methods may include: | construction materials: adhesives cloths (canvas, gauze, nessle, wool, silk, velour, synthetic fabric) fabrics fasteners fibreglass leather masonite metal products (e.g. bars, tubes, sheets) mouldable materials moulded or cast metal paper products plaster plastic polystyrene thermoplastic timber/timber products wood construction methods, e.g.: fabrication gluing metalwork (e.g. cutting, welding, brazing) moulding painting sculpting (and other shaping methods) timber construction woodworking |
Production requirements may include: | occupational, public health & safety requirements: commonwealth, state and territory OHS regulations local government construction legislation and regulation national and international standards, guidelines and codes of practice production environments: on location (interior, exterior) outside broadcast stage/theatre/venue studio production types: animated productions commercials documentaries feature films filmed events or performances live or pre-recorded television productions music video short films television productions of any type (e.g. music, drama, comedy, variety, sport) |

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.
