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!

use industry standard colour grading software to colour grade moving images

use media and metadata workflows when colour grading

assess colour grading equipment for correct calibration

apply attention to detail and assess and optimise image quality

specify and use correct codecs and compression for media that is to be colour graded

utilise file management protocols for transferring media from one software application to another

organise and file media assets logically and accurately.

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 differences in colour grading processes for television broadcasting, digital cinema and film

explain ways colours are used to affect the mood of the audience

explain current colour grading techniques and their applications

explain typical issues and challenges of colour grading for complex screen productions, and describe solutions

explain differences between different colour spaces.

Range Statement

This section specifies different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.

Technical scopes must include at least 2 of:

waveform monitors

vectorscopes

RGB parades

histograms.

Colour grading software must include:

primary colour grading with specific controls for blacks, whites, mid-tones, curves adjustment, saturation and hue

secondary colour grading capability with tools for selecting and colour grading specific parts of the image.
