Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

Evidence of the ability to:

create digital visual effects sequences that meet specifications provided in production documents

select visual effects software appropriate for delivery platform

assemble previsualisations based on storyboards and scripts to achieve optimum visual impact

work collaboratively with other production personnel to ensure product meets all requirements and production deadlines

review own performance and the visual effects process for improvement.

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:

outline typical challenges of creating visual effects and how to handle these

explain how effects such as lighting, colour and composition influence visual impact

explain how the delivery platform impacts the visual effects creation process

describe compositing methods and techniques as they apply to visual effects creation

describe the process of rendering visual effects

outline procedures for checking copyright requirements

describe the relevant work health and safety standards which relate to working with computers and keyboards.
