This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to devise camera coverage for scenes in relatively large-scale screen productions such as feature films or television dramas. It involves considering different ideas when interpreting briefs, planning camera coverage for productions, developing and finalising camera plans according to production requirements.

The unit applies to those who are responsible for establishing the big picture view of productions and creating a sense of overall unity within productions. They apply high-level creative visual story-telling skills to the interpretation of scripts or shot plans as the basis for devising camera coverage. They work closely with other creative and production personnel to reach agreement on final camera plans.

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