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!

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.

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

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

use of correct processes and techniques to produce images for specific purposes.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

The assessment context must provide for:

practical demonstration of skills using a 35mm SLR camera or digital equivalent to capture images for specific purposes.

Method of assessment

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

direct observation of the candidate using a camera

evaluation of images captured by the candidate

oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of camera techniques and features

discussion and/or written report of the nominated techniques applied to selected subject matter

written or verbal reports

review of portfolios of evidence

third party workplace reports of performance by the candidate.

Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands (e.g. literacy) 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).

Assessment of this unit requires access to the materials, resources and equipment needed to capture images.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills:

literacy skills sufficient to follow instructions for a 35mm SLR camera or digital equivalent

numeracy skills sufficient to interpret technical charts or diagrams relevant to the use of a 35mm SLR camera or digital equivalent.

Required knowledge:

general knowledge of the use of a 35mm SLR camera or digital equivalent

organisational and legislative occupational health and safety procedures in relation to photoimaging work with a 35mm SLR camera or digital equivalent

general knowledge about other photographers, their work, ideas and techniques

general knowledge about the elements and principles of design as applied to the use of a 35mm SLR cameras or digital equivalent

cleaning and maintenance techniques for the use of a 35mm SLR camera or digital equivalent.

Range Statement

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Safely means in accordance with:

Federal, State and Territory legislation, regulations and standards.

The subject matter may be:

portrait

still life

the built environment

the natural environment.

Controls are:

aperture

lens focal length

shutter speed.

Techniques to capture photographic images may relate to:

aperture:

depth of field (maximum and minimum)

effect of different lens focal lengths on depth of field

exposure meter techniques:

contrast evaluation

incident

reflected

spot

perspective:

flattened perspective

normal perspective

steepened perspective

shutter speed:

freeze motion

panning

slow shutter speeds and moving subjects

time exposure.

Equipment may include:

cable release

filters

lens hoods

tripod.

Process and output may refer to:

use of digital image processing and output

ways photographic film is processed and printed.

Documenting the processes may involve the use of:

data sheets with notes

diagrams

a visual diary.

Preparing equipment for storage may involve:

cleaning the lens

use of covers, caps or cases for lens and camera.

Equipment and materials must include:

35mm SLR camera (or digital equivalent)

film suitable for the nominated techniques black and white, colour or digital media

lenses covering the focal length range 28mm to 135mm.
