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!

Evidence of the ability to:

determine safety issues in relation to hazardous action sequences for screen productions

check all aspects of locations, equipment and personnel for compliance with licensing, safety regulations and industry codes of practice prior to execution of sequences

agree on emergency procedures to be followed on location

make judgements based on the degree of risk associated with hazardous action sequences

manage on-set communications and briefings

oversee set-up of locations for hazardous action sequences

supervise safe execution of hazardous action sequences and clearing of sites at conclusion of filming

note continuity issues that arise during execution of sequences

effectively manage response to emergency situations that arise during execution of hazardous action sequences

conduct post-sequence evaluations

use effective verbal, non-verbal and written communication skills.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

outline key screen production techniques, camera positions and equipment relevant to coordinating hazardous action sequences

describe roles and responsibilities of film crew and specialist production and location management personnel involved in execution of hazardous action sequences in screen productions

outline access procedures and protocols for engaging with emergency and medical services

describe procedures for safe execution of special effects, stunts and action sequences

identify common hazards on set and their potential for causing harm

outline safety practices required to remove, isolate or minimise hazards on set

explain safety implications of using camera, sound and lighting equipment during filming of hazardous action sequences

describe environmental issues that relate to safe transport and use of sets and props

explain licensing requirements for stunt coordinators, fight directors, stunt actors and performers, as identified in the Media, Entertainment and Arts Alliance's (MEAA) National Stunt Grading Procedures.

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.

Legal and statutory 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

licencing requirements, e.g high-risk occupations; transporting, setting up, storing and discharging firearms, blank ammunition and pyrotechnic effects; vehicle licensing and insurance

animal welfare legislation and regulations.
