---|---|---|---|
Description | This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required for the safe execution of hazardous action sequences involving the management of animals during screen productions.Animal handlers must meet relevant state and national licensing requirements for the possession and transportation of exotic or native animals, especially where such animals pose a potential threat to production cast and crew. | ||
Employability Skills | This unit contains employability skills. | ||
Learning Outcomes and Application | One or more performers in screen productions may be required to complete sequences involving animals, in line with production and safety requirements.Hazardous action sequences are performed only by recognised stunt actors and performers, under the strict guidance of stunt coordinators, armourers, fight directors and animal handlers. These key personnel are responsible for liaising on behalf of performers with directors, producers, location managers, other stunt and fight performers, cast members and specialist production staff.Animal sequences have broader application in live theatre and other entertainment activities, such as theme park performances, and are often combined with other hazardous performance work using vehicles, animals or elements.The role of hazardous action sequence performers is to ensure that the set up, rehearsal, performance and review of hazardous action sequences comply with production requirements, as well as screen safety and industry codes of practice.Performers are responsible for ensuring that all aspects of action sequences they perform minimise risk to any animal, themselves and other cast and crew members. | ||
