This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to manage the costume realisation process for screen, media and entertainment productions. It applies to individuals who work in pre-production and determine the number of characters and costumes required. They develop costume plots and manage the process of constructing or acquiring costumes. They work independently and in a supervisory role to achieve the required costume outcomes. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Evidence of the ability to: - discuss and determine costume requirements for a production - develop and confirm a plan that includes costume break-downs and costume studio processes to be followed - organise construction of costumes in a logical sequence - manage the process of constructing or acquiring costumes according to plans and within available budgets - participate in costume design processes and meetings, discussing progress with others - review the costume realisation process and note improvements for future. 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: - describe specialist costume construction requirements for different performance genres - explain principles and techniques of costume design, construction and alteration - describe properties of different fabrics and costume components - outline the purpose and timing of costume trials - outline roles and responsibilities of personnel involved in the process of constructing and acquiring costumes for productions - explain the communication, monitoring and reporting requirements at each stage of the costume realisation process - identify typical problems that arise in context of realising costumes, and briefly describe solutions.
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: - a costume studio - materials, components and equipment. Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
