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. Identify video assets | 1.1 Obtain and assess digital video content as determined by production 1.2 Clarify production schedules and deadlines with relevant personnel 1.3 Identify file format, output purpose, destination and platform of source video according to production requirements 1.4 Discuss, with relevant personnel, required output file format and codecs for specified bandwidths, and appropriate video encoding software |
2. Prepare video assets | 2.1 Load video files into appropriate video encoding software 2.2 Check duration and quality of video sequences meet production requirements, and balance and clip sequence if necessary 2.3 Determine and apply appropriate video and audio codecs to meet quality standards 2.4 Batch and optimise video files where possible 2.5 Save files in appropriate output file format using standard industry or enterprise naming conventions 2.6 Follow safe ergonomic practices when using computer equipment for long periods of time |
3. Package video assets | 3.1 Assign metadata tags if required 3.2 Group files in folder system using standard industry or enterprise naming conventions 3.3 Archive and store in share drive or asset repository for production team access |
Evidence of the ability to:
prepare video sequences for use in media distribution channels or interactive media products
use video encoding software to prepare video sequences that meet quality requirements within production deadlines
save and store files according to industry or enterprise conventions.
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:
outline the features of the delivery platforms used to prepare video assets
explain why video file compression is required
identify common digital video sources and output formats
explain appropriate codecs for various platforms and destinations
describe techniques for saving and preparing digital video output to optimise file size
explain purposes and procedures for correctly naming and tagging video files
explain safe work practices in relation to working on computers for periods of time.
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:
video encoding and editing software and equipment
manuals and instructions.
Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
