Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to undertake graphic arts camera work.The skill is used in the industry but is becoming obsolete and should probably not be part of entry level training.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Prepare the camera
- 1.1. The camera is prepared to ensure the appropriate size and focus for the job
- 1.2. The correct exposure for line reproduction is established according to the manufacturer's specifications
2. Prepare and operate a processor
- 2.1. The processor is prepared to ensure correct chemical balance, temperature and maintenance
- 2.2. The processor is operated in line with established procedures
3. Operate a camera
- 3.1. Appropriate photographic material and processing chemical combination is selected for the line image
- 3.2. Line images are photographed using the correct camera settings
- 3.3. The quality of the photographic output is evaluated to ensure suitability for design purpose and final media or reproduction process

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
Evidence of the ability to:
evaluating the quality of the photographic output to ensure suitability for design purpose and final media or reproduction process
the underlying skill of photographic images should be transferable across different camera designs and processing systems. It is important that the substrate for reproduction is identified and that the quality of the photographic image be suitable for the identified printing process
demonstrate an ability to find and use information relevant to the task from a variety of information sources
prepare, set up and use a graphic arts camera to photograph and process TWO different line originals according to the listed Performance Criteria.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must ensure:
assessment may take place on the job, off the job or a combination of these. Off the job assessment must be undertaken in a closely simulated workplace environment
mechanical and/or electronic equipment.
Method of assessment
A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:
direct questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate.
Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended.
Guidance information for assessment
Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended.
