List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Interpret scripts | 1.1 Read draft scripts and meet with creative personnel to discuss potential interpretations of the vision 1.2 Assess intended creative aims of scripts, define proposed objectives and explore their realisation visually or through the use of sound 1.3 Generate and consider a range of ideas for visualising scripts until a clear narrative emerges 1.4 Identify research and reference materials to inform creative directions and to assist in providing context for productions 1.5 Review script drafts in collaboration with writers, agree on the need for rewrites and organise deadlines for completion 1.6 Prepare development notes for script writers to produce script re-drafts as required 1.7 Document proposed visual and dramatic elements in scripts as the basis for shot plans |
2. Prepare shot plans to realise visual narrative | 2.1 Mark up working script into component scenes and identify key dramatic elements and technical parameters within each scenic unit 2.2 Plot key dramatic elements within and between scenes that aid transformation of written narrative into its visual representation 2.3 Review the whole narrative and individual scenes to determine location of characters and other elements for each shot 2.4 Assess photographic qualities of proposed shots and their impact on interpreting the story overall and within each scene 2.5 Prepare shot plans that allow both narrative and visual aspects to be controlled and carried forward to meet production requirements 2.6 Discuss shot plans with relevant production personnel prior to developing storyboards |
3. Finalise creative planning | 3.1 Document areas of productions that may be affected by script versions and discuss changes with colleagues 3.2 Arrange sign-off for final scripts and distribute to relevant creative personnel 3.3 Maintain an ongoing review of script and shot plans, and organise any further rewrites while production is underway 3.4 Provide production personnel with latest version of scripts and shot plans |
Evidence of the ability to:
review and revise scripts with writers so clear visual narratives emerge as the basis for establishing creative visions for screen productions
undertake research to aid the process of visualising narratives
identify key elements in scenes and develop shot plans that achieve a logical progression in the visual representation of written narratives
establish a process for reviewing scripts and shot plans as filming progresses
work collaboratively with writers and other members of creative team to establish the vision for screen productions.
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:
outline how key elements of, and personnel in, the screen production industry fit into the process of establishing the overall creative vision for productions
describe format and conventions for marking up scripts
provide examples of topics that might need to be researched when establishing the creative vision for screen productions
explain visual story-telling techniques and ways of moving from written to visual narrative
identify typical problems of establishing the creative vision for screen productions and briefly describe solutions.
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:
the process of developing scripts
draft scripts
writers.
Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
