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.
Elements Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance Criteria Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Analyse the production staging process | 1.1 Discuss with relevant personnel the role of production assistants and content found in event staging plans 1.2 Develop understanding of resources and equipment used in productions 1.3 Clarify health and safety and other regulatory requirements that apply to live productions 1.4 Identify the roles and responsibilities of key production personnel |
2. Prepare for live performances | 2.1 Clarify key aspects of staging information with relevant personnel 2.2 Check the condition of materials, equipment and accessories to determine whether repairs or modifications are required 2.3 Organise repairs or modifications promptly according to organisational procedures 2.4 Use appropriate equipment and tools to assist with repairs and modifications as required 2.5 Assist with setting up venues in line with production requirements |
3. Assist with production operations during and after performances | 3.1 Anticipate potential operational problems and take appropriate action suitable to own level of responsibility to mitigate them 3.2 Integrate health and safety procedures into work activities and ensure risk-management issues are addressed 3.3 Undertake work activities in ways that minimise the environmental impact of operations 3.4 Complete workplace documentation as required 3.5 Participate in bump-out operations |
4. Participate in production debriefs | 4.1 Contribute to reviews of production operations to help identify inefficiencies in processes and procedures 4.2 Provide input into discussions on ways to improve productions operations 4.3 Seek feedback on own performance and note areas for future improvement |
Evidence of the ability to:
use correct and safe techniques to make simple alterations to staging elements
work collaboratively in a performance production team
solve production operation problems in line with scope of responsibilities
provide efficient and safe assistance with production operations in line with scope of responsibilities
contribute to analysis of productions and identify ways of improving production operations.
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided for each of the above points at least once.
To complete the unit requirements the individual must:
demonstrate well-developed knowledge of:
bump-in and bump-out procedures
stage and production terminology
staging elements
describe issues and challenges that can arise when assisting with production operations and suggest solutions to address them
describe how the following WHS issues relate to staging live productions:
safe manual handing
working with electrical equipment
emergency procedures
in the context of assisting with production operations, demonstrate knowledge of:
basic maintenance procedures for audio equipment
basic set assembly
