Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to apply digital effects to an interactive product.It applies to individuals who support the design, development and programming of basic digital games, as part of a larger development team.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.

Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the game development field of work, and include access to:

appropriate computer hardware

3-D animation software

games engines

file storage.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.

Element: Identify and apply digital effect components for inclusion in the presentation
  • Identify the digital effect components for inclusion
  • Confirm that the digital effect components are in an appropriate format for the framework
  • Apply the digital effect components to the framework, for inclusion in the product presentation
       
Element: Apply all components into a functioning and welldesigned interactive product
  • Apply all the media components in the authoring environment
  • Identify the digital effects programming necessary to ensure satisfactory results
  • Identify any inconsistencies within the digital effects
  • Review and test the design, to ensure that it meets the creative and technical requirements of the brief
  • Apply the runtime version of the presentation, for inclusion into the product
  • Ensure that the presentation runs satisfactorily on all target platforms
       


Evidence Required

demonstrates use of visual communication principles.

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

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

explain the component-based programming skills required to produce interactive products

describe the technical constraints that hardware or software imposes on design and development

outline the techniques for applying:

concept development skills

concept visualisation skills

framework integration skills.
