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 Knowledge and Skills, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for this Training Package. | |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | Evidence of the following is essential: The photographed image meets the quality and look/ feel requirements of the brief. The digital camera functions are used to capture the required image The underlying skills of capturing a digital image using a digital camera should be transferable across the associated sectors of the printing industry Demonstrate an ability to find and use information relevant to the task from a variety of information sources Assess the capacity of, and operate, a digital camera to upload and process THREE digital images using industry hardware and software to deliver a designated quality of image outcome Evidence for assessment may be gathered from assessment of the unit of competency alone or through an integrated assessment activity |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | Assessment must ensure: assessment may take place on the job, off the job or a combination of these. Off the job assessment must be undertaken in a closely simulated workplace environment digital cameras, lighting |
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 by the candidate. |
Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended. |

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 Knowledge and Skills |
The following knowledge must be assessed as part of this unit: Using a digital camera What is meant by pixel resolution and how does this affect the resolution of the image? Why is the RAM capacity of a digital camera relevant? Why are shutter speed and focal lengths important to check when capturing a digital image? What are the safety requirements for handling and storing lithium batteries? Uploading and processing digital images using a computer How is the data uploaded to a computer from the computer card interface/disk? What is the process for filing and creating photographic image files on the computer? What is required to enhance, crop and alter photographic images electronically? What considerations need to be made to assess a digital photograph suitable for a newspaper, glossy brochure and CD-ROM? Information sources What manuals, safety and other documentation are relevant to this task and where are they kept? What information is included in these documents? What other sources of information are available? |
The following skills must be assessed as part of this unit: OHS in relation to operating machinery such as safely switching off machinery before cleaning is started Communication of ideas and information by consulting with supervisors over the processing of digital images |
Collecting, analysing and organising information by assessing the suitability of shutter speed, focal lengths and camera feature modes (eg flash, scrollage, icon menu, close-up, wide angle and telephoto capacity) for the photographic image required Planning and organising activities by planning and coordinating digital image capture sessions Teamwork when maintaining the production process in association with others Mathematical ideas and techniques by choosing the correct shutter speed and focal length to capture digital images Problem-solving skills applied by identifying and correcting problems of image quality Use of technology applied by using digital camera technology |
The Range Statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Italicised wording in the Performance Criteria is detailed below. | |
Degree of autonomy | A digital photographic image is processed in the workplace in consultation with the supervisor to ensure that correct skills and procedures are used |
Types of systems | Digital cameras used in the pre-press sector and associated sectors with which a pre-press organisation may be required to work |
Lighting | Direct (main) fill in lighting/fill reflector |
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.
Observation Checklist
