This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to set up a lighting control system and use the more complex functions of a console for lighting cues and effects. It applies to individuals who record and implement lighting schemas across a diverse range of productions. They work collaboratively with lighting designers and directors as part of a production team, and as experienced lighting technicians may supervise junior lighting technicians. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Students will attend on campus classes as well as engage in learning activities through ECU Blackboard.

Evidence of the ability to: - explore options for implementing lighting cues and effects, using a diverse range of techniques, and operating and interpreting production, creative and technical information - set up, record and operate lighting cues and effects using the full range of console features safely and effectively according to production documentation, performance requirements, enterprise instructions and safety procedures - test lighting cues and effects and associated equipment are prepared and operational pre-production - make decisions about lighting operations quickly and effectively in a high-pressure environment - observe dimmer control protocols during production, including those related to advanced features - identify problems and faults in equipment and operations prior to and during production and resolve in a timely and safe manner within scope of own role - collaborate effectively with creative and technical team members to devise and implement lighting cues and effects that meet production requirements - produce and adjust documentation throughout the process, according to enterprise procedures, using appropriate lighting terminology, and demonstrating attention to detail in recording and reproducing lighting cues. 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 key features and purpose of basic elements of the lighting design process and their impact on the set-up of lighting control systems - describe advanced features and effects associated with different lighting systems - explain optical and mechanical features and operations of the main types of lanterns and lantern accessories - describe how different combinations of lanterns and accessories, and lighting and lighting control systems, are used for different types of production cues and effects - describe lighting control concepts used in various lighting systems - discuss operational parameters of automated lighting and lighting effects accessories - describe safety requirements and procedures that apply to operating lighting cues and 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: - lighting equipment including range of dimmers, peripheral accessories, control devices, and control desks or consoles - an appropriate production venue. Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.

Students please note: The marks and grades received by students on assessments may be subject to further moderation. All marks and grades are to be considered provisional until endorsed by the relevant Board of Examiners.
For the purposes of considering a request for Reasonable Adjustments under the Disability Standards for Education (Commonwealth 2005), inherent requirements for this subject are articulated in the Unit Description, Learning Outcomes and Assessment Requirements of this entry. The University is dedicated to provide support to those with special requirements. Further details on the support for students with disabilities or medical conditions can be found at the Access and Inclusion website.
Edith Cowan University has firm rules governing academic misconduct and there are substantial penalties that can be applied to students who are found in breach of these rules. Academic misconduct includes, but is not limited to:
Additionally, any material submitted for assessment purposes must be work that has not been submitted previously, by any person, for any other unit at ECU or elsewhere.
