This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to implement lighting designs for screen, media and entertainment productions. It applies to individuals who, as experienced technicians, apply knowledge of the correlation between lighting and the cameras, lenses and stock formats being used in a given production. They may plan and install filler lighting and lights for presenters on location, or work collaboratively with a lighting designer who has devised the lighting plan. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Evidence of the ability to: - devise and implement lighting designs that address the creative and technical requirements of productions according to production documentation, performance requirements, enterprise instructions and safety procedures - explore options for implementing lighting designs, using a diverse range of techniques to create lighting effects and operating and interpreting information readouts from a colour temperature meter - set up and test that lighting options meet creative and technical requirements pre-production - adjust lighting equipment and accessories safely and effectively during rehearsals and productions to suit camera types and capture the media being used, with minimum disruption to work flows - identify problems and faults in lighting equipment and undertake basic maintenance within scope of own role - collaborate effectively with creative and technical team members to devise and implement lighting effects that meet production requirements - produce and adjust documentation throughout process according to enterprise procedures and using appropriate lighting terminology. 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: - explain roles and responsibilities of senior lighting technicians, lighting designers and other lighting personnel in the film and television production industry - describe key features and purpose of basic elements of the lighting design process - identify typical problems and the main challenges of installing and testing lighting equipment, and briefly describe solutions - discuss the impact of technology on planning and operating lighting for productions - describe key safety requirements and procedures that apply to implementing lighting designs and working with lighting equipment - explain key creative and technical components of lighting plans and how key photographic principles and techniques can be used - describe how key features of lighting equipment and accessories, lighting systems and lighting concepts can be used in a lighting plan - explain, in detail, attributes of cameras and lenses used in film and television productions and how they can be used in lighting designs - explain characteristics of a range of film, tape and digital capture formats - describe properties and behaviour of light and effects on film and television production - explain the effect of different light sources, diffusion materials, filters and reflectors on the lighting environment - describe, in detail, a range of techniques for creating lighting effects.
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: - indoor and outdoor locations requiring lighting - production documentation - lighting equipment, systems and accessories and cameras. Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
