This unit information may be updated and amended immediately prior to semester. To ensure you have the correct outline, please check it again at the beginning of semester.
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to develop construction plans and specifications to meet prop requirements for productions in the screen, media, entertainment and events industries. Individuals who apply these skills are expected to display a high level of initiative and judgement as they take a range of practical factors into account when planning the implementation of props designs. 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.

Performance evidence of the ability to translate design concepts into creative and workable plans to construct props for at least two productions, communicate effectively with designers and creative personnel, develop accurate specifications and drawings as the basis for prop construction tasks. Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided for each of the above points at least once.
Knowledge evidence - describe issues and challenges that typically arise when developing prop construction plans, and suggest ways to address them, describe techniques for creating prop construction plans and specifications from designs and other visual sources, explain how different construction methods are used to achieve a range of commonly required prop effects, provide examples of the cost of materials typically used to construct props and explain the impact work health and safety procedures have on the process of planning and constructing props.
Assessment conditions - gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in a live performance environment. The assessment environment must include access to prop designs from which construction plans can be developed. Assessors must satisfy SNR/AQTF assessor requirements.

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.
The ECU rules and policies governing all academic activities, including misconduct, can be accessed through the ECU website.
