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!

CUASCE401 - Create special effects for scenic art

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

Confirm special effects requirements

  1. Discuss special effects requirements for scenic art with relevant colleagues
  2. Analyse production schedules, specifications, lists and scale drawings to gain a full understanding of requirements
  3. Discuss visual interpretation of special effects and ways in which they could be realised
  4. Reach agreement on scope of own work and production deadlines
  5. Take account of budgetary and other constraints when planning how to achieve special effects

Test techniques for creating special effects

  1. In consultation with relevant colleagues identify options for achieving required effects and establish criteria for selecting final approaches
  2. Use a range of sources to research different approaches and techniques
  3. Select tools and equipment to test approaches and techniques
  4. Test and experiment with a range of techniques and materials that might achieve required effects
  5. Evaluate testing processes against selection criteria and select preferred approach
  6. Document selected processes, including records of materials and equipment to be used

Produce special effects scenic art

  1. Calculate quantities of required materials, avoiding waste where possible
  2. Use selected techniques to produce special effects for scenic art
  3. Seek feedback on work in progress and adjust as required
  4. Promptly identify problems encountered while creating special effects, take action within scope of own responsibilities or refer to others as required
  5. Follow safety procedures throughout the process according to organisational requirements
  6. Contribute to evaluations of set construction processes and note ways to improve own work performance
