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!

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

Prepare for editing sound

  1. Clarify production requirements, including creative and technical objectives in consultation with relevant production personnel
  2. Obtain, label and securely store audio source materials
  3. Check editing hardware has sufficient capacity to handle digitising and editing processes
  4. Check editing software is suited to technical requirements and enterprise practices
  5. Organise additional equipment to minimise interruptions during editing, if required
  6. Adopt safe ergonomic practices when using screens and keyboards for long periods of time

Evidence of the ability to:

prepare and edit audio content to meet creative and technical production requirements

use editing software and equipment proficiently, manipulating and applying effects where required

digitise audio content in compatible formats

assess and optimise quality of sound sequences

accurately mark, log, document and archive edited sequences

seek feedback from others to improve own technical and creative performance.

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:

describe a range of digital formats compatible with various editing processes, platforms and equipment

outline procedures to log and document edited sequences

outline typical challenges that arise collecting and organising content for broadcast and publication, and how to handle these

identify characteristics of sound that can be manipulated to achieve high quality output

outline work health and safety requirements for working with sound.
