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

Evidence of the ability to

produce multiple video artworks or a single major work that shows some technical proficiency in chosen techniques

work with ideas and techniques and bring them together in finished work

adapt and extend the capabilities of video artwork techniques and resources

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to

equipment used to produce video art pieces

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

evaluation of technical execution of work pieces produced by the candidate

direct observation of video artwork in progress

questioning and discussion of the candidates intentions and work outcome

review of portfolios of evidence

review of thirdparty reports from experienced practitioners

Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands eg literacy 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

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

CUVPRPA Produce creative work

CUVPRP301A Produce creative work.
