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!

Photograph and upload a digital image

  1. Consider focus and exposure in operation of the digital camera to ensure capture of image meets production requirements
  2. Ensure correct use of digital image software including entering and exiting the selected software
  3. Save and retrieve digital photographs using designated file formats
  4. Load and operate the digital camera in accordance with manufacturer's specifications and appropriate to the quality of image to be photographed
  5. Upload the IBM-PC or Macintosh card interface/disk onto the relevant computer and save the image on hard disk
  6. Create and store photographic image files of the computer in accordance with software procedures
  7. Enhance, crop and alter photographic images electronically to deliver the required image
  8. Check photographic images for fitness of purpose to comply with specifications
  9. Assess photographic images for the relevant delivery mode (print, CD-ROM, visual appeal and effectiveness) and deliver appropriately

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

Underpinning skills and knowledge

Assessment must include evidence of essential knowledge of, and skills in:

basic principles of photography and visual design

knowledge of selected digital image software

ability to interpret a brief

knowledge of the limiting factors of computer hardware

knowledge of computers and computer operating systems

interpreting simple scripts (texts), specifications and instructions

interpreting and communicating production specifications

Linkages to other units

This unit has linkages to the following units and combined training delivery and/or assessment is recommended:

CUFMEM07A - Apply principles of visual design/communication to the development of a multimedia project

CUFMEM10A - Design and create a multimedia interface

Critical aspects of evidence

This unit of competence applies to a range of industry sectors. The focus of assessment will depend on the industry sector. Assessment must be customised to meet the needs of the particular sector in which performance is being assessed. Assessment should only address those variable circumstances, listed in the range of variables statements, which apply to the chosen context.

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

ability to assess the capacity to upload and process digital image s using industry hardware and software, to deliver a designated quality of image outcome

Method and context of assessment

Assessment may take place on the job, off the job or a combination of both of theses.

Off the job assessment must be undertaken in a closely simulated workplace environment.

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

practical demonstration (direct observation may need to occur on more than one occasion to establish consistency of performance)

role play

work samples or simulated workplace activities

oral questioning/interview aimed at the evaluating the process used in developing and realising the creative concept

projects/reports/logbooks

third party reports and authenticated prior achievements

portfolios of evidence which demonstrate the processes used in developing and realising the creative concept

Resource requirements

Assessment requires access to a range of resources and equipment currently used by the multimedia industry.
