Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to produce video art through the exploration and application of a range of techniques, equipment and materials. As such the range of techniques could be quite varied and broad in nature. It is a specialisation unit and refers to a specific art form. This work would usually be carried out under limited 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 resources for video art production.
- 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 workplace procedures and safety requirements.1.3 Organise and maintain work space so that it remains clean and safe.1.4 Store equipment and materials in accordance with relevant workplace and safety requirements.
2 Explore video techniques to plan work.
- 2.1 Assess the capabilities of techniques, equipment and materials for different types of video art.2.2 Use and/or combine different techniques, equipment and materials to determine and extend capabilities.2.3 Determine the conceptual vision for the proposed video art based on exploration of different techniques or from supplied information.2.4 Establish criteria for the selection of techniques to meet the conceptual vision.2.5 Select techniques based on the conceptual vision.2.6 Plan work, identifying work processes and resource requirements.
3 Realise video art.
- 3.1 Organise the resources required for the production of the proposed video art based on the plan of work.3.2 Safely use and adapt techniques, equipment and materials appropriately to realise the conceptual vision.3.3 Identify potential different approaches that may enhance the final work and incorporate these into the work process.
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:
editing software
editing suite
electrical leads and/or appropriate batteries
lighting equipment and appropriate cabling
sound equipment and microphones
tripods
video cassettes
video recorders
video storage media.
Materials may include:
materials and objects for use as sets, props costumes
materials used in animation, e.g. modelling clay, paints, templates.
Workplace procedures may relate to:
cost control
process-specific procedures
recycling
reporting
safety
use of materials.
Safety requirements would be in accordance with:
Federal, State and Territory legislation, regulations and standards.
Organisation and maintenance of the work space may relate to:
cabling
lighting
power supply
process-specific requirement.
Assessing the capabilities of the techniques and materials may involve:
experimenting directly with work in progress
producing test clips
testing recording and editing features.
Extending capabilities of techniques refers to:
exploring the potential of techniques and discovering new ways of using them.
The conceptual vision may be determined by:
elements and principles of design
the relationship of the work to a theoretical and historical context
the subject matter or theme for the video art, e.g. the body; identity; land and place; political, cultural, social issues; spiritual concerns.
Criteria for the selection of techniques may relate to:
access to materials, tools and equipment for the techniques
consistency with the conceptual vision for the proposed video art
ease of application of the techniques
personal affinity with the techniques.
Within this unit the candidate would generally extend, build upon and combine a range of techniques which may include:
animation
auterism
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
constructing form with light
different lighting and weather conditions
dissolves
editing in linear and non-linear forms, e.g. cross cutting, cutaway, jump cuts, dissolves
fades
jump cuts
mise-en-scene
montage
sculpting in time and space
sound, e.g. direct, ambient, special effects, voice overs, music score
the conventions of framing, composition, tone, balance and lighting.
Planning for the video work should include:
a written or illustrated script or a storyboard.

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 selected techniques and which is consistent with the conceptual vision
knowledge of materials and equipment and how they are used and extended 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 multiple examples of video art or a single major work.
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 the candidate's intentions and work outcome
verbal and written 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.
