Underpinning skills and knowledge
Assessment must include evidence of essential knowledge of, and skills in, the following areas:
basic concepts of camera maintenance and appropriate cleaning techniques and cleaning materials
domestic type video cameras and operational functions
framing techniques and methods of composition
lens theory and application including range
camera to subject practice, ie lens to eyeline, crossing the line, matching shots
video types and differences and compatibility of stock to equipment
management of video stocks, storage and handling
interpretation of creative requirements to technical operation
relevant photographic principles such as exposure, tonal relationships, light sources, sensitivity and balancing, camera's interpretation of colour, and how this determines the selection of filters
different types of light measuring devices and their use
use of light meters
the effect of different light sources, diffusion materials, filters and reflectors on the lighting environment which includes both performers and set
duty of care to colleagues and the general public
Linkages to other units
This unit has linkages to the following unit and combined training delivery and/or assessment is recommended:
CUFPOP01A - Prepare and participate in an electronic media activity
Critical aspects of evidence
The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit:
knowledge and application of photographic principles
technical knowledge of a domestic type of video camera
Method and context of assessment
Assessment may take place on the job, off the job or a mix of both of these.
Off the job assessment must be undertaken in a closely simulated workplace environment.
Assessment methods must include observation of performance during a practical demonstration. Direct observation may need to occur on more than one occasion to establish consistency of performance. A range of methods to assess the application of essential underpinning knowledge must support this and might include:
work samples or simulated workplace activities
oral questioning/interview
projects/reports/logbooks
third party reports and authenticated prior achievements
portfolios of evidence
Resource requirements
Assessment requires access to a range of equipment listed in the range of variables statement, currently in use.
