Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Disassemble film after final screening
   • Handle the film with care to avoid damage throughout the disassembly process
   • Identify film assembly points so that the film can be broken up into its original condition
   • Remove assembly splices without damaging the film
   • Rewind the film smoothly, and at appropriate and constant tension, onto freight cores or reels, attaching correct head and tail leaders
   • Constantly check the alignment of rewind stands and keep rewind spindles straight
   • Place cores or reels in the appropriate cans in preparation for transportation
2. Prepare film for dispatch
   • Accurately and legibly label all film reels, cans and freight boxes with the relevant address for dispatch to the next venue or for return to distribution company
   • Pack all cans for transportation so that no damage occurs to the film during transit
   • Make final additions to any projection report and insert with the film cans as required

Required Skills

Required skills

planning and organising activities sufficient to follow logical work sequences literacy and numeracy skills to count and label film reels technology and problem solving skills in the context of reviewing film assembly pointsand making adjustment during disassembly

Required knowledge

safe film handling techniques principles and techniques of film splicing program assembly and disassembly operational knowledge of film assemblydisassembly equipment tensions for film winding techniques for evaluating film condition precise terminology associated with cinema projection particularly in relation to disassembly and dispatch hazards associated with the storage of film and appropriate operational conditions within the disassembly work area

Evidence Required

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	The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit ability to handle the film and remove assembly splices with care to avoid damage throughout the disassembly process accurate identification of film assembly points and breakdown of film into its originalpreassembly condition ability to maintain appropriate and constant tension during the winding of the film
Context of and specific resources for assessment	The assessment context must provide for practical demonstration of skills within a fully equipped projection room or environment where film program disassembly tasks are undertaken breakdown of multiple film programs to ensure that skills can be consistently demonstrated completion of disassembly tasks within typical workplace time constraints
Method of assessment	Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess practical skills and the application of essential underpinning knowledge and might include direct observation of disassembly tasks conducted by the candidate project activities that allow completion and reporting on a range of breakdown activities review of projection reports prepared by the candidate written or oral questioning to test knowledge of typical assemblydisassembly equipment film handling and splicing techniques storage conditions and safety issues review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of onthe job performance by the candidate Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands and the needs of particular groups eg 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	Assessment of this unit requires access to an assembled film program and assemblyprogram schedule a range of standard industry current film assemblydisassembly equipment and consumables such as winders and tape an environment where film disassembly can be completed use of typical industry projection reports
