This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to use sound and visual images to transform written scripts into screen productions. It involves the consideration of different ideas in interpreting scripts, producing detailed shot plans to support a creative vision and finalising plans with required personnel.

The unit applies to those who interpret and use scripts as the basis for developing the creative vision for relatively large-scale productions such as feature films, short films or television dramas. They work closely with writers in developing scripts, and with other creative team members on strategies for achieving creative outcomes.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
