Learning Outcomes

  

Overview of Assessment

Assessment requires the production of a series of studio and location-based workbook exercises and folio-based tasks. These must demonstrate evidence of knowledge and skills about the techniques of image capture, the properties and capabilities of exposure systems, plus the styles and types of images required in different industry sectors. Tasks are conducted in conjunction with a range of tungsten and flash lighting equipment and techniques, as well as ambient lighting situations.

The selection and application of appropriate equipment, materials, lighting and image capture techniques consistent with the purpose of a brief together with the correct interpretation of the brief is critical. The assessment context also includes the presence of time constraints that reflect industry practice and standards.
