Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to create and develop storyboards for a broad range of digital content, including video, film, animation and interactive media. It applies to individuals who break down content, stories or scripts into discrete elements and visualise creative concepts in collaboration with a creative production team. Storyboard artists, designers, producers and information architects can create storyboards, depending on the type and scale of production. In the film and television industry, people creating storyboards work closely with directors.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Assessment must be conducted in a safe environment where evidence gathered demonstrates consistent performance of typical activities experienced in creative arts industry environments. The assessment environment must include access to:

scripts, stories or texts to serve as the basis for creating storyboards

storyboard and visualising tools

different types of productions requiring storyboards

Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
