Not Applicable
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to apply a range of techniques to the use of a 35mm SLR camera or digital equivalent. It is a specialisation unit and refers to specific techniques for photoimaging. This unit underpins CUVPHI06B Plan and carry out image capture in response to a brief. The work would usually be carried out under supervision.
Current photoimaging industry practice relies increasingly on digital imaging processes and this should be reflected in training and assessment of this unit. Analogue equipment and processes may be used to support this as appropriate to the specific context.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement.
You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)
Prerequisites
It is highly recommended that this unit be assessed in conjunction with the units which cover skills and knowledge for photoimaging developing and printing/outputting work.
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. | |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit in this unit | The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit: use of correct processes and techniques to produce images for specific purposes. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | The assessment context must provide for: practical demonstration of skills using a 35mm SLR camera or digital equivalent to capture images for specific purposes. |
Method of assessment | Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of essential underpinning knowledge, and might include: direct observation of the candidate using a camera evaluation of images captured by the candidate oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of camera techniques and features discussion and/or written report of the nominated techniques applied to selected subject matter written or verbal reports review of portfolios of evidence third party workplace reports of performance by the candidate. 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). |
Assessment of this unit requires access to the materials, resources and equipment needed to capture images. | |

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: literacy skills sufficient to follow instructions for a 35mm SLR camera or digital equivalent numeracy skills sufficient to interpret technical charts or diagrams relevant to the use of a 35mm SLR camera or digital equivalent. |
Required knowledge: general knowledge of the use of a 35mm SLR camera or digital equivalent organisational and legislative occupational health and safety procedures in relation to photoimaging work with a 35mm SLR camera or digital equivalent general knowledge about other photographers, their work, ideas and techniques general knowledge about the elements and principles of design as applied to the use of a 35mm SLR cameras or digital equivalent cleaning and maintenance techniques for the use of a 35mm SLR camera or digital equivalent. |
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included. | |
Safely means in accordance with: | Federal, State and Territory legislation, regulations and standards. |
The subject matter may be: | portrait still life the built environment the natural environment. |
Controls are: | aperture lens focal length shutter speed. |
Techniques to capture photographic images may relate to: | aperture: depth of field (maximum and minimum) effect of different lens focal lengths on depth of field exposure meter techniques: contrast evaluation incident reflected spot perspective: flattened perspective normal perspective steepened perspective shutter speed: freeze motion panning slow shutter speeds and moving subjects time exposure. |
Equipment may include: | cable release filters lens hoods tripod. |
Process and output may refer to: | use of digital image processing and output ways photographic film is processed and printed. |
Documenting the processes may involve the use of: | data sheets with notes diagrams a visual diary. |
Preparing equipment for storage may involve: | cleaning the lens use of covers, caps or cases for lens and camera. |
Equipment and materials must include: | 35mm SLR camera (or digital equivalent) film suitable for the nominated techniques black and white, colour or digital media lenses covering the focal length range 28mm to 135mm. |
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.
