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 following is essential

creation of D digital animated sequences that

demonstrate the principles of basic screen visual design and communication

meet the technical requirements of specific platforms

satisfy the design brief and client requirements

collaborative approach to work

attention to detail

ability to meet production deadlines

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure

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

where sound is integrated in animated sequences 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 authenticated show reels and thirdparty workplace reports of onthejob performance

critical analysis of a range of D digital animated sequences created by the candidate to determine ability to meet design requirements

written or verbal questioning to test knowledge as listed in the required skills and knowledge section of this unit

informal questioning and discussion including response to feedback and diagnostics

Guidance information for assessment

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