Release 1

This version first released with CUA Live Performance and Entertainment Training Package Version 1.0.

Application

This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to use a range of basic techniques, materials and equipment to construct props.

At this level, individuals are under broad supervision and are expected to act autonomously within established parameters as they take responsibility for assisting with props and set dressing in the screen, media, entertainment and events industries.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Elements and Performance Criteria

Elements 

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance Criteria 

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1. Prepare for prop construction

1.1 Liaise with supervisor to determine the nature of props to be constructed

1.2 Select materials for prop construction according to instructions and intended use of prop items

1.3 Calculate correct quantities of required materials, avoiding waste where possible

1.4 Select equipment and tools according to materials being used and type of props being constructed

2. Construct simple props

2.1 Use techniques to construct props, including the safe use of adhesives

2.2 Complete the prop construction process in a logical manner

2.3 Follow safety procedures throughout the prop construction process

Release 

Comments 

Release 1

This version first released with CUA Live Performance and Entertainment Training Package Version 1.0.

Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to:

  • use basic techniques, materials and equipment to construct simple props for at least one production
  • follow safety procedures
  • work cooperatively with others.

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:

  • properties and applications of materials commonly used for prop construction
  • types of tools and techniques commonly used for prop construction
  • safety and environmental issues associated with the use of tools, materials and adhesives
  • link between the intended use of a prop and the selection of materials and construction method.

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 the screen, media, entertainment and events industries. The assessment environment must include access to basic materials and equipment used in prop construction.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
