Unit Descriptor
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to work with any type of photomedia in professional creative practice.
Application of the Unit
Professional artists and designers working in many media and disciplines engage with photomedia in different ways, depending on the needs of their practice.
Photomedia may be used as a vehicle for the creative presentation or documentation of work, or could be a finished work in its own right, either as a whole work or part of a work. It may include still images, film, video, music or interactive content.
At this level, the practitioner works independently with mentoring and guidance as required.
This unit does not address the specialised skills needed by photo imaging professionals.
Licensing/Regulatory Information
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement.
Pre-Requisites
Not applicable.
Employability Skills Information

1. Explore the potential of photomedia in own work |
1.1 Research the potential of photomedia in own work using appropriate sources of information 1.2 Reference traditional and contemporary approaches to the use of photomedia 1.3 Identify relevant technologies and approaches for the development of photomedia projects 1.4 Develop ideas for work through investigation, exploration, discussion and review |
|
2. Experiment with photomedia |
2.1 Confirm a command of the basic technical features and capabilities of chosen technologies 2.2 Explore and experiment with particular features of specific technologies, including the potential of combining technologies for particular purposes 2.3 Achieve different effects by extending the capabilities of photomedia technologies 2.4 Refine ideas through a process of experimentation |
|
3. Create and present finished photomedia work |
3.1 Fulfil work objectives through manipulation of technologies with increasing skill and confidence 3.2 Challenge and test technical and conceptual aspects of the work during the development process 3.3 Complete technical requirements for integration of photomedia with other media 3.4 Finalise images and files using appropriate protocols 3.5 Apply safe work practices for chosen photomedia technologies |
|
4. Evaluate work |
4.1 Review work in progress in the context of personal, professional and artistic objectives 4.2 Identify and respond to opportunities for refinement and re-thinking 4.3 Evaluate the work process in terms of its efficiency and effectiveness 4.4 Evaluate finished work in terms of its coherence with the project concept, technical resolution and suitability for the intended purpose |
