Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Design production cycle for multimedia product
   • Management components of production cycle are identified and coordinated to achieve defined outcome
   • Concepts for multimedia integration are put forward and their sequence planned
   • Prototype sequences are designed and tested according to job specifications
   • Multimedia production is undertaken that conforms to product specifications
   • Final product is tested for conformance to specifications and released to client
2. Define attributes of interactive multimedia products
   • Attributes of hypermedia are defined and incorporated into given productions when required
   • Attributes of hypertext are defined and incorporated into given productions when required
   • Linear and interactive information structures are distinguished and incorporated into productions when required
3. Manage research
   • Client specifications are researched and checked with client to deliver desired outcome
   • Files, documents, images and footage relevant to project requirements are sourced and their functions documented and sequenced
   • Liaison with clients is undertaken, records of interviews kept, and specifications monitored within management of project to achieve required outcomes
   • Files, documents, images and footage relevant to specific projects are filed for future reference, with regard for client confidentiality
4. Manage multimedia process
   • Order of process procedure is determined and documented to deliver desired outcome
   • Costs are determined, checked with client and documented to deliver desired outcome
   • Quality outcomes are determined and documented, and quality system is established to monitor quality of product
   • Product is tested against specifications prior to client release
   • Endorsement of product by client is gained to ensure specifications have been fulfilled

Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to:

manage multimedia production in TWO separate projects over at least a THREE month period and produce a portfolio that demonstrates:

how all components of the production cycle were monitored and managed

concepts used for multimedia integration

how content was sourced and managed

prototype sequences developed and their attributes

how product testing was undertaken

measures used to establish and maintain effective liaison with clients.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

Knowledge Evidence

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

explain the typical management components of a production cycle

identify factors to take into account when considering multimedia integration

describe the steps involved in designing, building and testing a prototype

define hypermedia and hypertext, and explain the similarities and differences between the two

explain the difference between linear and interactive information structures

explain how quality outcomes are determined

identify appropriate methods for sourcing and storing content.
