Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to: - clarify post-production briefs and creative and technical requirements of post-production - coordinate all post-production activities and meetings, and brief personnel to achieve required outcomes within commercially realistic time constraints - produce creative solutions within constraints of budgets and resources - respond to a range of issues and problems encountered during post-production in line with established protocols and procedures - generate and distribute production documentation and reports relating to post-production process. Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

Knowledge Evidence

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must: - outline the structure of a post-production film or media process, roles and responsibilities of those involved, and their relationship to the post-production supervisor - outline administrative procedures associated with a post-production operation - describe phases and practices in the post-production process, including editing and post-production services, and outline typical issues that may arise and their possible solutions - explain work health and safety (WHS) requirements that apply to film and media post- production environments.

Assessment

Assessment must be conducted in a safe environment where evidence gathered demonstrates consistent performance of typical activities experienced in creative arts industry environments. The assessment environment must include access to: - post-production activities across a range of formats - post-production resources and equipment - interaction with others - standard employment contracts and supplier agreements. Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
