Evidence of the ability to:
compile at least three music soundtracks that meet technical, creative, artistic and production requirements, in collaboration with relevant people
demonstrate well-developed critical-listening and aural-discrimination skills
use sound editing and synchronisation software in line with production requirements and industry standards.
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 the main principles and techniques for compiling music for soundtracks

explain the issues and challenges that typically arise when compiling music for soundtracks, and how to address them
explain the copyright requirements that relate to sourcing, securing and preparing music components for soundtracks
explain the work health and safety considerations that relate to the production of music soundtracks.
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:
sound editing and synchronisation software
productions that require music soundtracks
interaction with others.
Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
