To arrive at a final camera plan, directors need to work closely with other creative and production personnel such as directors of photography, designers, and camera and lighting operators. In the final analysis, directors may be answerable to a producer, but they often perform both roles.
Devising camera coverage is an important pre-production activity that relies on strong creative skills in visual story-telling and a sound knowledge of the technical aspects of productions.
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to develop camera coverage of scenes for a screen production for film, television and interactive media.
The unit describes the skills and knowledge required by directors to interpret and use key elements of scripts or shot plans as the basis for devising camera coverage for relatively large-scale productions. These could include feature films, short films or television dramas.
A high level of creativity and innovative thinking is required, since a director's role is to establish the big picture view for productions and to create a sense of overall unity within productions.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement.
