---|---|---|---|
Description | This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to produce patterns for complex period costumes using 2D and 3D methods.No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement. | ||
Employability Skills | This unit contains employability skills. | ||
Learning Outcomes and Application | Costume cutters working on productions in the film, television and live theatre/entertainment industries apply the skills and knowledge described in this unit. They are responsible for researching historical and cultural material to assist with the interpretation of costume designs, and for cutting and draping complex period costumes by developing patterns using advanced 2D and 3D techniques.Even though they usually work to briefs provided by costume designers, there is scope for costume cutters to be creative as they work on the designs they are given. They need to be adept at researching scripts, films, plays, books and historical data as primary sources of information to assist with the interpretation of costume designs and to ensure that the final costumes are true to the costume designer's vision.Costume cutters take performers' measurements and proportion costume designs accordingly. They develop and cut patterns through a combination of flat pattern making and construction, and pattern draping (moulage), of fabric onto a 3D dress form over corsetry and undergarments or underpinnings. Costume cutters also need to be skilled in a full range of complex sewing and finishing techniques.Costume cutters at this level self-manage the costume cutting and draping process and liaise directly with costume designers and performers when conducting trials and seeking approvals. | ||
