1 Share of the performance video designer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the performance flying director profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.

Why

Why this move works

A performance video designer role treats 21 of its required skills as things a performance flying director already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • adapt existing designs to changed circumstances
  • adapt to artists' creative demands
  • analyse a script
  • analyse music score
  • analyse the artistic concept based on stage actions
  • analyse the scenography

What stands in the way is 6 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 35 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A performance video designer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a performance flying director background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held write technical riders communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held research new ideas information skills
  • already held verify feasibility information skills
  • already held analyse the artistic concept based on stage actions information skills
  • already held propose improvements to artistic production communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held analyse the scenography communication, collaboration and creativity

All 35 carried skills, including the 21 the performance video designer role treats as required.

Note

How this record was compiled

Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
