Overview of assessment | |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | Evidence of the following is essential: high-level management and communication skills as a team leader ability to coordinate at a practical level creative and technical requirements of post-production, across a range of formats ability to produce creative solutions within constraints of budgets and resources. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | Assessment must ensure: access to post-production activities across a range of formats, e.g. film, video and interactive media access to a selection of post-production resources and equipment as listed in the range statement opportunities to work with and manage a team of editors and other specialist staff 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. |
