Unit of Competency ICTGAM522 - Complete digital editing for the 3-D and digital effects environment
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to edit a sequence in a 3-D environment, and finalise the edit in an appropriate video format.It applies to individuals with high-level technical and communication skills working as concept artists, game designers, games programmers, animators and other personnel working in the game development industry.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:

computer hardware and software

games engines

file storage

the internet for research purposes.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.

4.4 Receive and incorporate the feedback

Evidence of the ability to:

use research to identify and select digital editing techniques and software

edit a 3-D sequence by inserting graphics, special effects, sounds and music according to a storyboard, and store all files efficiently

use editing software, and feedback from others, to develop a final version in an appropriate video format.

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 digital editing and rendering processes and techniques

discuss the capabilities, and constraints, of digital editing and rendering software

summarise the technical constraints that hardware imposes on:

software development

graphics requirements

code development

creative visual design.
