Application
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to analyse production information to identify technical and creative elements that need to be addressed in work plans for productions in the screen, media, entertainment and events industries.
Individuals who apply these skills work autonomously in a team environment as they take responsibility for documenting and implementing work plans that contribute to the achievement of the overall creative vision for shows or events. They may be responsible for supervising others.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Elements and Performance Criteria
Elements Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance Criteria Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |

Evidence of Performance
Evidence of the ability to:
document creative and technical requirements based on an analysis of production information in area of specialisation for at least two productions
develop and implement work plans to achieve production requirements in area of specialisation on at least two occasions
work collaboratively
meet work deadlines.
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided for each of the above points at least once.
Evidence of Knowledge
To complete the unit requirements the individual must:

describe broad historical and cultural context for productions relevant to area of specialisation.
Assessment Conditions
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 productions and production information from which to develop work plans.
Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
