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!

CUECIN03C - Screen the film

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

Prepare for screening

  1. Select the appropriate screen masking, screening ratio, aperture plate and lens for any non automated systems in use
  2. Minimise any slack on start-up between either take-up or supply reels and projector to ensure that film does not break
  3. Check the film path to ensure that the film runs smoothly and evenly
  4. Engage automation and adjust focus and volume as required

Screen the film

  1. Conduct routine and periodic checks of film path, focus, framing and volume by monitoring film screening in auditorium and adjust as necessary
  2. Manually override the automated system should problems arise and, if necessary, seek advice or assistance from colleagues
  3. Undertaking smooth execution of changeovers as required
  4. Stop the automation at end of the film program
  5. Power down equipment correctly and safely
  6. Clean projection equipment as required in preparation for next screening
  7. Store assembled film program in appropriate projection room conditions between screenings
  8. Complete a projection report, if required, including notes on condition of film, details of any damage to the film, any notes regarding sound quality and other relevant information

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit:

ability to set and maintain all projection technical aspects, including screening ratio, focus, volume and frame alignment throughout the screening

ability to react to any problems as they arise and make necessary adjustments to ensure the smooth screening of the film

safe handling of film and maintenance of safe projection room conditions.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

The assessment context must provide for:

practical demonstration of skills within a fully equipped projection room

screening of film programs on multiple occasions to ensure that skills can be consistently demonstrated (ideally as a component of integrated projection room work activity)

screening of a variety of film gauges and reel lengths using different projector types to ensure that skills can be adapted to different equipment contexts.

Method of assessment

Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess practical skills and the application of essential underpinning knowledge, and might include:

direct observation of screening tasks conducted by the candidate

project activities that allow completion and reporting on a variety of film screening activities

written or oral questioning to test knowledge of typical projection room equipment, possible problems and remedies, projection room operational conditions and safety issues

review of projection reports prepared by the candidate

review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the job performance by the candidate.

Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands and the needs of particular groups (e.g. people with disabilities, and people who may have literacy or numeracy difficulties such as speakers of languages other than English, remote communities and those with interrupted schooling).

Guidance information for assessment

Assessment of this unit requires access to:

an assembled film program

standard industry-current film projectors and other projection equipment

the projection room of a venue where films are to be screened

standard industry-current cleaning materials

typical industry projection reports.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

communication skills toshare information with colleagues

literacy skills sufficient to completing a projection report

problem solving skills in the context of monitoring and adjusting processes during screening

safe and proficient use of projection equipment

Required knowledge

operational knowledge of the projector and other film projection equipment

aperture plates and lens functions

correct focus and sound balance

methods of evaluating correct functioning of automation or manual operation

appropriate and safe projection room operational conditions

hazards associated with projection equipment, handling and storage of film

correct and precise technical language associated with cinema projection particularly in relation to screening
