Performance Criteria 

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

1. Prepare for plotting

1.1 In consultation with relevant personnel, update production scripts in readiness for inclusion of cues, standbys and calls

1.2 Plan plotting of technical requirements in a logical order that uses time efficiently

1.3 Select the most appropriate methods for communicating with crew and advise relevant personnel of communication equipment requirements

1.4 Ensure crew and production personnel required for plotting are present at the appropriate time

1.5 Distribute draft cue reference documents for further development by crew during plotting sessions

1.6 Check the venue and communication equipment to ensure readiness prior to start of plotting sessions

1.7 Liaise with heads of technical departments regarding unfinished work, and brief creative personnel accordingly prior to start of plotting sessions

2. Coordinate the plotting of cues

2.1 Provide input into creative discussions and contribute to problem solving during plotting sessions

2.2 Direct walkers standing in for performers during plotting according to blocking notation

2.3 Take direction from creative personnel on cue points, timing and sequencing of cues

2.4 Calculate timings and other measurements that need to be incorporated into cues and documentation

2.5 Follow relevant safety procedures, with particular reference to requirements for potentially hazardous sequences

2.6 Liaise with other production personnel in a manner that encourages cooperation in the team

2.7 Clearly document plotted cues and standbys in production scripts, including timings and summary of production content

3. Test and modify cues

3.1 Run cue sequences so that creative personnel can assess plotted cues and sequences and make adjustments as required

3.2 Incorporate changes and adjustments in cue notation as required

3.3 Ensure that crew members incorporate changes into cue content and their own documentation

3.4 Repeat and adjust cues and cue sequences until satisfactory results are achieved

3.5 Note additional work required by self or others after plotting sessions
