Produce video art

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


People still developing their video art expertise apply the skills and knowledge in this unit. They produce finished work building on and combining a range of techniques to support the ideas of the work. There are links between this unit and the camera units in CUF07 Screen and Media Training Package.

At this level, work is usually undertaken under supervision, though some autonomy and judgement can be expected within established parameters.

This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to produce video art through the exploration and application of a range of techniques, tools, equipment and materials.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Prerequisites

Not applicable.

Employability Skills

This unit contains employability skills.



Evidence Required

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.

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 ability to:

produce multiple video artworks or a single major work that shows some technical proficiency in chosen techniques

work with ideas and techniques and bring them together in finished work

adapt and extend the capabilities of video artwork techniques and resources.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to:

equipment used to produce video art pieces.

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:

evaluation of technical execution of work pieces produced by the candidate

direct observation of video artwork in progress

questioning and discussion of the candidate’s intentions and work outcome

review of portfolios of evidence

review of third-party reports from experienced practitioners.

Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands (e.g. literacy) and the needs of particular groups (e.g. people with disabilities, and people who may have literacy or numeracy difficulties, such as speakers of languages other than English, remote communities and those with interrupted schooling).

Guidance information for assessment

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example:

CUVPRP301A Produce creative work.

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Required skills

communication skills to:

discuss ideas for video art with others

respond constructively to feedback

initiative and enterprise skills to extend the capabilities of video art techniques to enhance final works

learning skills to improve techniques to produce video art through practice and some experimentation

literacy skills to read product safety labels and instructions on use

numeracy skills to calculate quantities of materials

planning and organising skills to organise resources required to produce video art

self-management skills to take responsibility for the process of creating work.

Required knowledge

ways of exploring techniques and materials to achieve different effects in video artwork

physical properties and capabilities of a range of materials, tools and equipment used in video artwork

work space requirements for video art, including ways of organising and maintaining space

cleaning, maintenance and storage procedures for video art tools, materials and equipment

formal elements and principles of design and their specific application to video artwork

historical and theoretical contexts for video art

intellectual property considerations for any person making creative work

sustainability considerations associated with the use of video artwork tools, materials and equipment

OHS procedures that apply to video artwork.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
