Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

CUFPOS201A - Perform basic vision and sound editing

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Prepare source materials for edit

Clarify technical and creative requirements for production and online editing in consultation with relevant production personnel
Obtain and label source materials and keep in a safe, clean location with appropriate documentation
Organise transfer of source materials to appropriate medium where necessary
Check that sufficient storage and memory is available to meet content resolution requirements
Assess source materials for technical and creative quality and arrange for remedial action where problems are identified
Digitise content according to specified formats and burn time code where applicable, ensuring format is compatible with available software and hardware
Align, synchronise and organise uncut images and sound in preparation for evaluation and editing
In consultation with relevant production personnel, finalise list of shots required for the edit and the method for logging them

Evidence Guide


The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.
Overview of assessment
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit	Evidence of the following is essential: systematic preparation of content segments for editing from source video or film correct identification and logging of single images, audio grabs and basic sequences ability to transfer and digitise video and film materials collaborative approach to work attention to detail ability to work to deadlines.
Context of and specific resources for assessment	Assessment must ensure: access to a range of pre-recorded films and videos availability of a range of editing facilities - non-broadcast and broadcast exposure to a range of computer software for editing and documentation of image and audio access to appropriate learning and assessment support when required use of culturally appropriate processes and techniques appropriate to the language and literacy capacity of learners and the work being performed.
Method of assessment	A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit: direct questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence and third-party workplace reports of on-the-job performance evaluation of a range of material prepared, logged and edited by the candidate in response to instructions received from a supervising editor written or verbal questioning to test knowledge as listed in the required skills and knowledge section of this unit.
Guidance information for assessment	Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example: CUFDIG301A Prepare video assets CUFSOU204A Perform basic sound editing CUFSOU301A Prepare audio assets.
