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!

CUACAM402 - Shoot screen content in a multi-camera environment

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Plan shots and camera movements

  1. Contribute to discussions about visual interpretation, locations and resources in pre-production meetings
  2. Liaise with production personnel to confirm planned shots and camera movements meet technical and script criteria
  3. Rehearse own camera shots and moves to ensure they align with overall camera plan
  4. Create shot lists for use during rehearsals, recordings or live transmissions
  5. Appraise ideas for shots, taking into account impact on schedules, technical feasibility and production requirements
  6. Anticipate work health and safety (WHS) requirements as they apply to preparation and implementation of shoots
