Application

This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to undertake research and experiment with techniques and media to achieve innovative effects for sets, props or scenic art 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 responsibility for facilitating an innovative approach to realising production designs.

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. Identify need for new techniques and media	1.1 Analyse design or production elements to determine areas where research and experimentation may be appropriate 1.2 Proactively assess the potential to use new techniques and media to maximise the effectiveness of production elements 1.3 Discuss ideas with relevant personnel and expand the range of ideas and options as a result of input from others
2. Conduct research	2.1 Undertake research to identify historical, cultural and other factors that might influence the use of techniques or media 2.2 Research, adapt and use relevant ideas and approaches from others giving due consideration to intellectual property, moral rights and copyright requirements 2.3 Identify specialists who may be able to contribute to the realisation of production elements 2.4 Maintain references in an accessible form to allow for use by other colleagues as required 2.5 Use research material to adapt styles for practical construction and performance needs
3. Experiment with new techniques and media	3.1 Coordinate trials to establish the best way to achieve desired effects under different lighting conditions 3.2 Follow safety procedures during experimentation according to organisational and legislative requirements 3.3 Assess results of experimentation, balancing the need for creative effectiveness and cost considerations 3.4 Take safety issues for production and performance personnel into account when developing new approaches 3.5 Select, adapt or introduce new materials, tools, equipment or technology for the achievement of innovative effects 3.6 Share information on the results of experimentation and make decisions about the use of techniques and media, taking into account problems encountered during trials 3.7 Use techniques arising from experimentation to create innovative production elements
