Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

CUAHAZ404 - Perform hazardous action sequences involving animals

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Prepare for execution of hazardous action sequences involving animals

  1. Notify relevant personnel of arrival at location, and confirm capacity to deliver hazardous action sequences
  2. Review skills requirements and own experience, and that of other specialist personnel, for relevance to proposed sequences
  3. Assess condition and temperament of animals and familiarise all personnel with commands and cues
  4. Note camera locations for coverage of hazardous action sequences
  5. Evaluate hazardous action sequences to determine most appropriate physical warm-up activity
  6. Note props, sets and equipment to be used in hazardous action sequences involving animals, and confirm their technical suitability with relevant personnel
  7. Note positioning and movement of all personnel and animals involved in hazardous action sequences to facilitate visual continuity and editing
  8. Consider alternative execution methods for specific hazardous action sequences
  9. Confirm, with relevant personnel, that planned hazardous action sequences comply with legal and regulatory requirements

Range Statement

This section specifies different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.

Safety standards and regulatory requirements must consider:

(MEAA) requirements under stunt performer grading systems

work health and safety (WHS) regulations

crowd control requirements, if productions involve members of the public as participants or observers

environmental planning and security requirements, e.g. noise levels, release of smoke and other special effects, clean-up

access to police, emergency and medical service providers

animal welfare legislation and regulations.
