List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Prepare for editing sound | 1.1 Clarify production requirements, including creative and technical objectives in consultation with relevant production personnel 1.2 Obtain, label and securely store audio source materials 1.3 Check editing hardware has sufficient capacity to handle digitising and editing processes 1.4 Check editing software is suited to technical requirements and enterprise practices 1.5 Organise additional equipment to minimise interruptions during editing, if required 1.6 Adopt safe ergonomic practices when using screens and keyboards for long periods of time |
2. Assemble sequences for editing | 2.1 Digitise content in a compatible format for specified platform 2.2 Monitor and optimise quality of digital output and arrange to fix problems where necessary 2.3 Identify sound edit positions and document appropriately 2.4 Log and assess sound sequences and create and save digital back-up copies 2.5 Use safe listening procedures to evaluate and edit audio content to meet technical and creative objectives |
3. Edit sound sequences | 3.1 Edit audio content and document details of each edited sound sequence according to production requirements 3.2 Generate an appropriate track list to facilitate sound mixing processes 3.3 Chart positions and durations of sound sequences, noting requirements for transitions where applicable 3.4 Apply audio effects and enhancements to maximise creative outcomes as required 3.5Use editing software to produce sequences and resolve identified problems 3.6 Seek feedback on edits from relevant production personnel and refine as required 3.7 Submit final edits by agreed deadline in accordance with enterprise procedures |
4. Finalise sound edits | 4.1 Archive and document edited audio files following enterprise procedures 4.2 Report on editing equipment requiring maintenance if required and leave workstation in original or improved condition 4.3 Participate in post-production debriefing sessions as required 4.4 Seek feedback from colleagues and evaluate own creative and technical performance for improvement |
Evidence of the ability to:
prepare and edit audio content to meet creative and technical production requirements
use editing software and equipment proficiently, manipulating and applying effects where required
digitise audio content in compatible formats
assess and optimise quality of sound sequences
accurately mark, log, document and archive edited sequences
seek feedback from others to improve own technical and creative performance.
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
describe a range of digital formats compatible with various editing processes, platforms and equipment
outline procedures to log and document edited sequences
outline typical challenges that arise collecting and organising content for broadcast and publication, and how to handle these
identify characteristics of sound that can be manipulated to achieve high quality output
outline work health and safety requirements for working with sound.
Assessment must be conducted in a safe environment where evidence gathered demonstrates consistent performance of typical activities experienced in creative arts industry environments. The assessment environment must include access to:
audio editing software and equipment
manuals and instructions to support software and equipment
audio content.
Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
