Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Evidence of the following is essential

creation of a range of D digital animations that

meet specifications

demonstrate the basic principles of screen visual design and communication

meet the technical requirements of at least two delivery platforms listed in the range statement

satisfy client requirements

collaborative approach to work

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure

access to a selection of resources equipment and current industrycurrent software as listed in the range statement

where sound is integrated in the animated sequence access to a range of suitable software to support the integration of sound and visual elements

access to appropriate learning and assessment support when required

use of culturally appropriate processes and techniques appropriate to the language and literacy capacity of learners and the work being performed

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 thirdparty workplace reports of onthejob performance

evaluation of a range of D digital animations created by the candidate in response to specifications

written or oral questioning to test knowledge of visual design principles communication principles animation techniques and responsibilities of different members of a project team
