This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to develop construction plans and specifications to meet props 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 development of the plans. 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 ECUs LMS

Performance evidence Evidence of the ability to: translate design concepts into creative and workable set construction plans for at least two productions communicate effectively with designers and creative personnel develop accurate specifications and drawings as the basis for set 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 To complete the unit requirements the individual must: describe issues and challenges that typically arise when developing set construction plans, and suggest ways of addressing them describe techniques for creating set construction plans and specifications from designs and other visual sources explain how different construction methods are used to achieve a range of commonly required set effects explain how stage dimensions and the way stages are constructed impact on planning the construction of sets provide examples of the cost of materials typically used to construct sets explain how work health and safety procedures affect the process of planning and constructing sets.
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 should be typical of those experienced in a live performance environment. The assessment environment must include access to set designs from which construction plans can be developed. Assessors must satisfy SNR/AQTF assessor requirements.
