Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to use techniques, materials and equipment for the production of video art. As such the unit covers general knowledge and the application of basic techniques, which would generally be nominated by the supervisor. It is a specialisation unit and refers to a specific art form. This work would usually be carried out under supervision.No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Prepare and maintain physical resources for video art.
- 1.1 Correctly identify and select equipment and materials required for the production of video art.1.2 Prepare, clean and maintain, equipment and materials in accordance with relevant workplaceprocedures and safety requirements. 1.3 Organise and maintain work space so that it remains clean and safe.
- 1.4 Store tools, equipment and materials in accordance with relevant workplace procedures and safety requirements.
2 Use and test video techniques.
- 2.1 Safely use techniques for the production of video art.2.2 Use and test nominated techniques to determine the capability of the technique and its application.
3 Produce the video art.
- 3.1 Determine concept for the proposed video art based on own ideas or supplied information.3.2 Correctly identify the steps and resources required to produce the proposed video art.3.3 Select appropriate equipment and materials for the specific video art.3.4 Use techniques, equipment and materials safely to produce the final video art.
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.
Equipment may include:
computer
editing software
lighting equipment and associated electrical cabling
microphone
tripod
video cassettes
video recorders.
Materials relate to a range of materials and objects used for:
costumes
props
sets.
Video art might be about:
abstraction
land and place
political or social issues
spiritual concerns
the body.
Workplace procedures may relate to:
cost control
process-specific procedures
recycling
reporting
safety
use of materials.
Organisation and maintenance of the work space may relate to:
cabling
lighting
power supply
process-specific requirement.
Within this unit the range of techniques used would generally be quite limited in nature and may include:
camera angles, e.g. low, titled, aerial view
camera movement, e.g. pan/dolly, tracking, zoom
camera scales, e.g. close up, medium shot, long shot
different lighting, weather conditions
simple editing techniques
sound, e.g. direct, ambient, special effects
the conventions of framing, composition, tone, balance and lighting.
Testing techniques may include:
exploring techniques
producing test clips.
The concept for the proposed video art may be influenced by:
elements and principles of design
the subject matter or theme for the work, e.g. the body; identity; land and place; political, cultural, social issues; spiritual concerns.

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:
production of video art which demonstrates a command of nominated techniques and which reflects the concept
general knowledge of materials and equipment used in video art.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
The assessment context must provide for:
evaluation of visual language and technical execution of work pieces produced by the candidate
practical demonstration of skills using required tools, equipment and materials to produce a minimum of one piece of video art.
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 work in progress
questioning and discussion of candidate's intentions and work
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 produce video art.
