Evidence of the ability to: - research and identify the sound requirements for productions - develop sound plans that clearly specify all production requirements - implement sound plans for at least two productions or events as part of a collaborative team - document evaluation of sound plans against production requirements. 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 the elements of a sound plan - list and describe possible production requirements that may need to be considered in the development of a sound plan - explain the issues and challenges that typically arise when implementing sound plans, and how to address them - outline the work health and safety (WHS) principles of safe listening, including safeguards against hearing loss.
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: - relevant equipment - productions or events where sound is required - relevant production documentation - interaction with others. Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
