Resource requirements
For this unit, learners must have access to hardware and software resources that will
allow them to use a selection of tools and techniques, as given in the unit content, to
produce animations and effects.
There are a number of propriety and open source resources available, including:
•
animation software, e.g. Adobe Animate, SketchBook
®
Pro, Blender
•
visual effect editing software, e.g. Movie Maker, Adobe Premier
•
audio effect editing software, e.g. Adobe Audition, GarageBand, Audacity
•
3D-modelling software, e.g. 3D Studio Max
®
, Maya, Modo
TM
, ZBrush
®
,
AutoCAD
®
, Cinema 4D
TM
, Blender.
Essential information for assessment decisions
Learning aims A and B
For Distinction standard,
learners will provide a clear and balanced evaluation of
how the characteristics of the animation and effects products impact on their purpose,
usability and accuracy. Learners’ enquiries will lead to a supported judgement, showing
relationship to its context. For example, learners’ evaluation may state that website
designers usually avoid purely decorative animations in favour of animations that
enhance usability, by guiding people to understand the user interface and that
contemporary web animations use lightweight code, such as Cascading Style Sheets
(CSS) and JavaScript, in order to run more quickly. Evaluations will cover a range of digital
animation and effects products and learners will evaluate other characteristics, such as
any local legal requirements that may apply, and the purpose of the animations and the
visual and audio effects.
Overall, the evidence, such as a report, will be easy to read and understand by a third
party. It will be logically structured and logical chains of reasoning will be used to
support different aspects of the evaluation. They will use appropriate technical language
throughout and a high standard of written language, i.e. consistent use of correct
grammar and spelling, and consistent reference of information sources.
