Unit Descriptor
Unit descriptor |
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to manage media assets for screen and media productions and projects. No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement. |
Application of the Unit
Application of the unit |
The skills and knowledge outlined in this unit are typically applied by a person working in a large enterprise on projects or productions that require a wide range of media assets. They work directly with asset creators (audio, video, graphics) to ensure that the asset management system accommodates their needs. Though reporting to a producer or manager, a person in this role works with a fair degree of autonomy. They are responsible for setting up the conventions for file naming, sourcing, sorting and storing formal documents and media assets, and recording project or production details. They also set up systems to manage these assets effectively. The systems may need to be built by other personnel within the enterprise or production. |
