This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to plan and manage post-production processes and facilities. It involves supervising editing personnel and acquiring post-production resources.
It applies to individuals responsible for achieving the post-production process on time and within budget. They work as post-production supervisors in the film and media industry, often managing a number of projects simultaneously.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Evidence of the ability to:
- clarify post-production briefs and creative and technical requirements of post-production
- coordinate all post-production activities and meetings, and brief personnel to achieve required outcomes within commercially realistic time constraints
- produce creative solutions within constraints of budgets and resources
- respond to a range of issues and problems encountered during post-production in line with established protocols and procedures
- generate and distribute production documentation and reports relating to post-production process.
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
- outline the structure of a post-production film or media process, roles and responsibilities of those involved, and their relationship to the post-production supervisor
- outline administrative procedures associated with a post-production operation
- describe phases and practices in the post-production process, including editing and post-production services, and outline typical issues that may arise and their possible solutions
- explain work health and safety (WHS) requirements that apply to film and media post- production environments.
Assessment must be conducted in a safe environment where evidence gathered demonstrates consistent performance of typical activities experienced in creative arts industry environments. The assessment environment must include access to:
- post-production activities across a range of formats
- post-production resources and equipment
- interaction with others
- standard employment contracts and supplier agreements.
Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
