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!

CUAPPM410 - Coordinate continuity

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

Prepare scripts for continuity

  1. Source production documentation with details of scenes to be shot
  2. Analyse and break down scripts and production schedules to determine continuity implications of scenes to be shot
  3. Collaborate with relevant production staff to determine most efficient shooting sequence
  4. Prepare continuity documentation to deliver basic continuity information for each scene
  5. Identify story days and sequence of story within the script and mark against production schedule
  6. Note continuity information on script, production schedules or in a continuity diary according to organisational or standard industry practices
  7. Confirm dialogue requirements with relevant production staff to verify purpose and storyline

Conduct continuity during production phase

  1. Log information for each action, or take, on script or in continuity diary
  2. Produce detailed notes on all elements associated with each scene to enable precise reproduction at a later date if required
  3. Take photographs of all characters, sets and locations to assist facilitation of continuity
  4. Time and record duration of all sequences during shoots
  5. Describe shots in terms of relevant technical information according to organisational requirements
  6. Provide progress reports to relevant production staff as required and in a timely manner, and update continuity documentation on an ongoing basis during productions
