This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to direct performers during filming or recording of screen productions. It involves preparing for shoots, overseeing performances and finalising production according to requirements.

The unit applies to those who are responsible for visualising and defining the style and structure of screen productions. They apply high-level communication and management skills to inspire and motivate their team to realise their creative vision. They operate with a high degree of autonomy, need to collaborate with technical and administrative personnel, and require flexibility to make compromises where necessary.

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