Assessment requirements

Modification History

Release 

Comments 

Release 1

This version first released with CUA Creative Arts and Culture Training Package version 2.0.

Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to:

  • organise darkroom work space for safe and efficient production of colour photographs
  • handle pre-exposed film correctly and make proof sheets or work prints
  • apply appropriate wet darkroom techniques to produce colour prints suitable for display or reproduction
  • check and store equipment according to workplace requirements.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

Knowledge Evidence

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

  • outline work space requirements for colour processing and printing techniques in a wet darkroom environment
  • describe the properties and capabilities of materials and equipment used to process and print colour negatives and transparencies
  • describe various techniques necessary for processing colour materials in a wet darkroom context and outline the different effects that can be achieved
  • summarise work health and safety procedures in relation to colour processing and printing work.

Assessment Conditions

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:

  • wet darkroom equipment and environment
  • photographic printing materials, resources and equipment for colour film processing and printing.

Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
