Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
Clarify work requirements
  • 1. With reference to documentation, identify the type and format of image data received, the level of restoration required, and the required output format
  • 2. In consultation with relevant personnel, identify deadlines for production of completed restoration and ensure work is planned to meet production requirements
Power on and calibrate equipment
  • 3. Power on equipment according to manufacturer specifications and enterprise procedures
  • 4. Log in to the system and activate restoration equipment
  • 5. Calibrate equipment, e.g. monitor for colour consistency and render nodes for access times
  • 6. Undertake regular equipment checks according to enterprise procedures
Operate restoration system
  • 7. Transfer image data from received external media to restoration equipment
  • 8. Import image data onto restoration equipment
  • 9. Apply restoration tools to image data depending on the level of restoration required and the parameters of the tools
  • 10. Assess the resultant image against the original for quality and artefacts, according to the level of restoration required
  • 11. Export image data in the required format according to intended use
Complete work operations
  • 12. Send sample image data to client for comment, respond appropriately to feedback and receive final go-ahead
  • 13. Complete documentation and assign metadata as required
  • 14. Archive image data onto appropriate media according to enterprise procedures
  • 15. Transfer completed image data from restoration equipment to external media
  • 16. Transfer or deliver final image data to client
  • 17. Review restoration process and note areas for future improvement

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 following is essential:
restoration of moving images that demonstrates an ability to:
use moving image restoration equipment appropriately
judge image quality for artefacts, stability, and frame rate
connect and use a range of external media
understand and use image data
correctly interpret production schedules/instructions
work to deadlines
a collaborative approach to work
attention to detail.

Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must ensure:
access to appropriate moving image restoration hardware, software and tools
access to suitable image data to restore
access to variety of external media types
access to appropriate learning and assessment support when required
use of culturally appropriate processes and techniques appropriate to the language and literacy capacity of learners and the work being performed.

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 a review of portfolios of evidence and third-party workplace reports of on-the-job performance
direct observation of performance during a series of practical demonstrations using restoration equipment
written or verbal questioning to test knowledge as listed in the required skills and knowledge section of this unit.

Guidance information for assessment
Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example:
CUFPOS301A Prepare motion picture film for printing or transfer
CUFPOS403A Colour grade moving images.
