Evidence of the following is essential:
creation of a range of screen titles that:
meet the requirements of a brief
demonstrate attention to detail and an ability to achieve the required creative effect
collaborative approach to work
ability to meet deadlines.

Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must ensure:
access to industry-current software used to create screen titles
access to simulated or real production situations that require the creation of screen titles
access to appropriate learning and assessment support when required
use of culturally appropriate processes and techniques appropriate to the language and literacy capacity of learners and the work being performed.

Method of assessment
A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:
direct questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence and third-party workplace reports of on-the-job performance
evaluation of a range of digital screen titles created by the candidate to determine ability to create different types of titles
written or verbal questioning to test knowledge as listed in the required skills and knowledge section of this unit.
