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. Determine prop requirements	1.1 Confirm prop production requirements in consultation with relevant colleagues and with reference to props documentation 1.2 Decide which casting and moulding techniques are best suited to the types of props required
2. Prepare for prop construction	2.1 Select most appropriate mould based on an analysis of how prop items are to be used and the advantages and disadvantages of different options 2.2 Take budget and timelines into account when making decisions about constructing props 2.3 Select tools, equipment and materials appropriate to the casting or moulding technique to be used 2.4 Calculate quantities of required materials, avoiding waste where possible
3. Construct props	3.1 Use techniques, tools and materials to create moulds and casts, ensuring that safety procedures are followed at all times 3.2 Check items produced in terms of durability, quality of finish and suitability for production requirements 3.3 Seek feedback on work in progress and adjust techniques as required 3.4 Prepare items in readiness for finishing, according to production requirements 3.5 Contribute to evaluation of prop construction processes and note ways to improve own work performance
