Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to interpret a brief for the vision system requirements of a production or event and to design a plan for the installation of vision systems. No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Receive and interpret the brief for vision system requirements
  • 1.1. Interpret and confirm the vision system requirements for the production/event through discussions with relevant personnel
  • 1.2. Identify the type of production and the available budget for the vision system component
  • 1.3. Identify deadlines for the development of the plan and the installation according to client requirements
2. Identify all vision system components required to meet the brief
  • 2.1. Undertake research into the style of production/event and generate and assess a range of ideas for the delivery of vision system services
  • 2.2. Research the venue facilities and constraints to determine optimum positioning of vision systems to achieve the desired outcome
  • 2.3. Determine the range and numbers of vision systems needed to meet the technical and creative requests
  • 2.4. Determine the human and financial resources required to set up and operate the vision systems
3. Produce a vision system plan
  • 3.1. Produce the vision system plan to reflect the brief
  • 3.2. Take into consideration all research findings, any identified constraints, and any suggested improvements to the original brief
  • 3.3. Draw the vision system plan to scale and title block, key or legend, and industry standard symbols
  • 3.4. Identify all relevant information on the plan, including location and types of vision systems, accessories and supports or mounts and power sources
  • 3.5. Include an accurate list of all equipment and technician requirements for the production/event
4. Present and update vision system plan
  • 4.1. Present the plan to relevant personnel and explain technical requirements
  • 4.2. Participate in the ongoing evaluation of the presented plan
  • 4.3. Negotiate and agree to additional requirements or modifications and undertake any necessary amendments to the audiovisual plan
  • 4.4. Make the final plan available to relevant personnel to ensure smooth installation and operation of vision systems
RANGE STATEMENT
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below.

EVIDENCE GUIDE
The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit:
technical knowledge of the performance capacity of range of vision systems
effective interpretation of the brief and development of workable plans to meet the brief
effective communication with clients and other technical personnel.

Context of and specific resources for assessment
The assessment context must provide for:
development of installation plans for more than one event or production
involvement of and interaction with others (client, production team) to reflect the collaborative nature of the planning process.

Method of assessment
Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess practical skills and the application of essential underpinning knowledge, and might include:
project or work activities to develop an installation plan for a particular production/event
project or role play activities which allow the candidate to demonstrate skills in interpreting briefs and presenting plans
written or oral questioning to test technical knowledge of typical vision systems
review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the job performance by the candidate.

Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands and the needs of particular groups (e.g. people with disabilities, and people who may have literacy or numeracy difficulties such as speakers of languages other than English, remote communities and those with interrupted schooling).

Guidance information for assessment
Assessment of this unit requires access to:
a brief and budget for vision system requirements
manual or computerised drawing materials
access to a venue or venue plans in order to develop a tailored installation plan.
