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

extraction and matching of negative that demonstrates an ability to

correctly interpret computer generated EDLs and job instructions

handle negative cleanly carefully and accurately

follow correct safety procedures when handling film negative and hazardous materials

work to deadlines

attention to detail

a collaborative approach to work including the ability to supervise the work of others

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure

access to editing equipment and software that enables the management of EDLs and other data

opportunity to work on a range of relatively complex materials

involvement with film laboratory procedures

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 negative extraction and matching process undertaken by the candidate to determine whether the output meets requirements

direct observation of candidate cutting and matching film negative

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

Guidance information for assessment

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