Unit reference number: A/505/1502

QCF level: 1

Credit value: 4

Guided learning hours: 40

Unit aim

The aim of this unit is to introduce learners to the knowledge and skills needed for

editing and can be applied to audio/visual, and audio or visual-based production

work.

Unit introduction

Editing techniques can be applied to audio or visual production work. Learners will

develop their knowledge of when and why editing is carried out and will generate

ideas for editing by collecting information and planning to edit materials. Learners

will then follow their plan to edit the materials and will review their work by collecting

feedback and reviewing aspects that went well and aspects that could be improved.

Much professional editing is now undertaken using digital systems and it is likely that

the production work for this unit will take place using digital systems. However,

learners should have an awareness of both traditional and digital techniques and this

unit does not preclude the use of traditional editing equipment for production work.
