This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required
to organise own work schedules, to monitor and obtain feedback on work
performance, and to maintain required levels of competence.
This unit helps develop the knowledge and skills necessary to support your
own learning and skill development. The Screen Industry and more
specifically the acting profession is a hard one with no guarantees of work.
Realistic expectations in setting your own goals and objectives can be quite
daunting when there are so many obstacles and hurdles - work, family and
social obligations that you have to manage. Therefore, this unit will help you
organise and plan for your development within the industry, not only from an
acting base within the job of being any actor but as your own small business.
If you do not operate efficiently then how will you be in the running for any
opportunities that may come along?
Acting for the Screen Industry really does mean acting and within this
qualification does not include training for singing and dancing, although at
times these specialist skills may be used.
This unit works concurrently through the year. Every lesson is for students to
organize their personal work priorities, they cannot rely on anyone else
accept themselves. Work tasks need to be adhered too, work handed on
time, research tasks completed, script learnt well. Therefore follow the
formative assessment as below and by the end of each term you should have
evidence that they are working on the overview of the Marking Guide.
