PURPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION 
This qualification provides the learner with the necessary competence to enter the film, television and video industry by ensuring that they understand the context and that they are able to function within the context of film, television and video production. Learners further understand the importance of the industry within the broader socio-economic context and can apply this in an employment situation. The competence attained by learners enables them to contribute in a meaningful way, through their use of the media, to the social and economic development of the nation at large through effective participation in film, television and video production.

Qualifying learners are able to follow the work ethic required in the film, television and video production sector. They can make an informed career choice based on knowledge of the industry, and provide a valuable support role in the industry. Qualified learners adhere to health and safety legislation, and can operate in a business, including maintaining productive interpersonal relations. Due to the high level of technology in the industry, learners are also required to be computer literate to be awarded this qualification.

Qualifying learners are capable of:
  • Operating a personal computer
  • Communicating in two languages, in a variety of ways in film, television and video production
  • Using mathematics in film, television and video production
  • Managing themselves as film, television and video freelancers
  • Delivering customer service with respect to all film, television and video production stakeholders
  • Meeting health, safety and environment requirements
  • Adhering to the film, television and video work ethic and industry accepted practice standards
  • Fulfilling specific roles within film, television and video production teams
  • Administering film, television and video production financial and office procedures
  • Gathering information for film, television and video production
  • Sourcing film, television and video production resources
  • Selecting areas of specialisation in film, television and video production

    In addition, elective learning components result in learners being capable of:
  • Using equipment, materials and tools in elected areas of film, television and video production specialisation
  • Processing information in elected areas of film, television and video production specialisation

    Rationale

    This qualification is aimed at learners who wish to enter the film, television and video industry with no prior competence in the area. Learning towards this qualification allows the learner to experience the various career options in the industry (technical, creative and production) and thereby make an informed choice. In addition, it allows learners to focus on and gain entry-level competence in a chosen area of specialisation. This qualification will equip learners with a minimum competence in all focus areas as well as providing an employable level of competence in their choice of focus area.

    The qualification provides a basis for all further qualifications in the industry. Learners can progress from this qualification to increased more complex levels of competence in their focus areas. In attaining the required fundamental and core components, the learner gains employment competencies that are transferable.

    This qualification gives learners access to fast-tracked entry through recognised competence. This qualification encourages career choices in previously neglected areas of competence, increasing career opportunities by addressing competence across the sector rather than only competence in parts of the sector, as has happened in the past. Globally, innovation, cultural specificity, the demands of new media and collaboration are influencing the competence required in this sector. 

  • LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING 
    The design of this qualification is based on the assumption that learners embarking on learning towards this qualification are already competent in the areas of communication in one language, and mathematical literacy at the NQF level 3 of the Further Education and Training Band, and are competent vehicle drivers (not compulsory). In addition, competence in communication using a second language at NQF level 2 is assumed. The qualification credits are also based on the assumption that the learner is computer literate. Computer literacy has to be achieved before the learner can qualify, if learning is not in place when embarking on learning towards this qualification, contained in the following unit standards:
  • Use a personal computer operating system (7548)
  • Operate a personal computer system (7547)

    Recognition of prior learning (RPL)

    This qualification can be achieved wholly or in part through recognition of prior learning, which includes formal, informal and non-formal learning and workplace experience, in terms of the criteria laid out. Learners who have met the requirements of any Unit Standard in this qualification may apply for recognition of prior learning to the relevant Education and Training Quality Assurance body (ETQA). The applicant will be assessed against the assessment criteria for the relevant Unit Standard or Unit Standards. A qualification will be awarded should a learner demonstrate that all the exit level outcomes have been attained.

    Integrated assessment

    Integrated assessment at the level of qualification provides an opportunity for learners to show that they are able to integrate concepts, ideas and actions across unit standards to achieve competence that is coherent in relation to the purpose and exit level outcomes of the qualification. Integrated assessment should show how already demonstrated competence in individual areas can be linked and applied for the achievement of a holistic outcome. Integrated assessment must judge the quality of the observable performance, and also the quality of thinking that lies behind it. Assessment tools must encourage learners to explain the thinking and decision-making that underpin their demonstrated performance.

    The assessment criteria in the unit standards are performance-based (applied competence as opposed to required knowledge only). Thus, workplace experience may be recognised when awarding credits towards this qualification. A broad range of task-orientated and theoretical assessment tools may be used, with the distinction between practical knowledge and discipline knowledge maintained so that each takes its rightful place. Unit standards in the qualification must be used to assess specific and critical cross-field outcomes. During integrated assessments the assessor should make use of formative and summative assessment methods and should assess combinations of practical, applied, foundational and reflexive competencies.

    While the foundational component (communication and mathematic literacy) of this qualification on NQF level 4 can be assessed through occupational contexts and activities relating to film, television and video production, care must be taken in both the learning programme and the assessment to ensure that these foundational competencies are portable. The primary aim of this qualification is to ensure that learners have a sound basis to prepare them for further learning, whatever career path they may choose. 

  • INTERNATIONAL COMPARABILITY 
    Countries that are the most active in the film and television industry are India, Australia, New Zealand, France, Germany, Canada, Switzerland, the United Kingdom (UK), Russia and the United States of America (USA). USA and UK programs separate film from television, and combines television and radio in other programs. The South African market cannot sustain this separation at the present time, thus this entry-level qualification allows for both television and film specialisations (radio is included in the South African entry-level journalism qualification). Also, many countries do not have a qualification at a level equivalent to this qualification, and entry level is undergraduate programs. However, prior to undergraduate programs, many short courses are available. The South African qualification is the only one that includes a component for stunt performance competence.

    The countries that have formal industry and support associations include: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Burkina Faso, Canada, Chile, China, Croatia, Cuba, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Egypt, Espana, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Ghana, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Jamaica, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Korea, Lebanon, Lithuania, Luxemburg, Malaysia, Malta, Maroc, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nigeria, Norway, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Scotland, Serbia - Montenegro, Singapore, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sri Lanka, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Tunisia, The Netherlands, Ukraine, UK, Uruguay, USA, Venezuela, Vietnam, and Zimbabwe.

    For purposes of international comparison, entry level education and training in film, television and video operations in India, Australia, New Zealand, France, Germany, Canada, Switzerland, the UK, Russia and the USA were selected as they are the leading industries internationally. However, information could only be obtained for India, Australia, New Zealand, the UK, and the USA. In addition, Argentina, Brazil and several African countries were also selected. Argentina and Brazil were selected as they are also emerging economies.

    In Brazil entry level programs are offered over one year. The programs include learning how to write, direct, shoot and edit own films, and to work in crew positions in films. Very similar to this South African entry-level qualification, the aim of the qualification is for learners to find their way into a career as screenwriters, directors, cinematographers, editors or documentary filmmakers, and then choosing a main area from the following: directing, cinematography, post-production, screenwriting or documentary. The most notable difference between this South African and the Brazilian entry-level qualification is that the South African qualification does not include documentaries as a separate set of competence. Other differences include that the Brazilian programs include acting, and screenwriting.

    The Kenya entry-level qualification is a three year qualification in film and television production, and is not the equivalent of this South African qualification. In Ghana learners can attain a Higher Diploma, Diploma or Certificate, but at Higher Education level only. Other African countries that offer film, television and video production undergraduate, graduate and post graduate programs include Liberia (B.A.), Nigeria (Diploma, Higher Diploma, Postgraduate Diploma, B.A., M.A., Ph.D.), Tanzania (Diploma), Uganda (Diploma), Zambia (Diploma, Certificate, B.A.) and Zimbabwe (Diploma). In Zimbabwe, UNSCO is sponsoring a film and video training project that runs between 4 and 8 weeks, which is also a pos NQF Level 4 course.

    India is said to be the largest film producing country in the world, with around eight hundred films in various languages being made in the country every year .Close to sixty satellite television channels are currently operating in the country. Learning programs include from 3 month to more than 3 year programs. At a level equivalent to this qualification, only short programs of 3 months each are recognised. The programs in India also combine film and television competence. Four three month programs are recognised. There are major differences between the South African qualification and the programs offered in India. Radio, music, still photography, writing/journalism, designing sets, developing projects, and acting and presenting are included in programs in India, but are not part of this qualification. The learning time is also much shorter than this South African qualification.

    In the USA, television and radio production programs are combined, and film learning programs are separate. Most programs are at undergraduate and graduate level, and one year programs (usually not accredited) are offered by some providers, focusing more on skills than knowledge components. The one-year programs usually include entry level competence for 16mm, 35mm and digital filmmaking, acting, cinema studies, screenwriting , film production, casting, producing, sync-sound recording, cinematography, editing and sound design, pre-production, and post-production. Differences with this qualification (in addition to the level assigned to it) includes that the South African qualification does not include screenwriting and acting.

    Various qualifications exist in the UK for each of the unit standards in the South African qualification. For example, learners can attain a qualification in camera assistance, or camera operations. There are three qualifications for Film, television and video production, at the equivalent of South African NQF Levels 3, 4 and 5. The UK Level 3 qualification (South African NQF Level 4 equivalent) is very similar to this South African qualification core component and aspects of the production administration, accounting and assistant directing elective components.

    New Zealand has an equivalent qualification, at an equivalent level and of equivalent duration. The National Certificate in Film and Television contains 60 credits in the elective component, for camera, delivery, foundation skills, post production, production management, script writing, technical management, production design, production lighting and production sound. The major differences between the New Zealand and the South African qualification are that compulsory unit standards in the New Zealand qualification are elective unit standards in the South African qualification, and the core of the South African qualification is not included in the New Zealand qualification (or any of the other international qualifications). 

    ARTICULATION OPTIONS 
    Vertical articulation upwards is possible with NQF Level 5 film, television and video production qualifications, for example, the National Certificate in Film, Television and Video Production, and other NQF Level 5 qualifications through the core component unit standards such as Identify and interpret Best Practice guidelines, and plan for and implement Best Practice within the team, department or division (15215) in, for example, the National Certificate: Management (24493, NQF Level 5), and Care for customers (8600) in, for example, the National Diploma in Event Co-ordination (20613, NQF Level 5).

    Vertical articulation downwards is possible with all Further Education and Training qualifications at NQF Level 3, through the Fundamental component of this qualification. Horizontal articulation on the NQF is possible with all Further Education and Training Certificates through the Fundamental component for mathematic literacy and communication. Also, the qualification articulates downwards through, for example, Co-ordinate meetings, minor events and travel arrangements (13929), with the National Certificate in Business Administration Services (23655, NQF Level 3).

    The core component articulates horizontally with many NQF qualifications, for example:
  • Negotiate an agreement or deal in an authentic work situation (13948) in the National Certificate in Public Relations and Communication Practice (36205, NQF Level 4), and the National Certificate in Local Economic Development (36436, NQF Level 4)
  • Manage time and the work process in a business environment (13918) in, for example, the National Certificate in Public Relations and Communication Practice (36205, NQF Level 4)
  • Liaise with a range of customers of a business (10024) in the National Certificate in Local Employment and Skills Development Practices (23976, NQF Level 4)
  • Identify expertise and resources (10026) in, for example, the National Certificate in Marketing Communications (20903, NQF Level 4)
  • Contribute to the management of project risk within own field of expertise (10141) in, for example, the National Certificate in Generic Project Management (21160, NQF Level 4) 

  • MODERATION OPTIONS 
    Assessment of learner achievements takes place at providers accredited by the relevant ETQA (RSA, 1998b) for the provision of programs that result in the outcomes specified for the qualification. The ETQA is responsible for moderation of learner achievements of learners who meet the requirements of this qualification. Anyone assessing a learner or moderating the assessment of a learner against this qualification must be registered as an assessor with the ETQA. Any institution offering learning that will enable the achievement of this qualification must be accredited as a provider with the relevant ETQA. The ETQA will oversee assessment and moderation of assessment according to their policies and guidelines for assessment and moderation, or in terms of agreements reached around assessment and moderation between the relevant ETQA and other ETQAs and in terms of the moderation guideline detailed below.

    Moderation must include both internal and external moderation of assessments at exit points of the qualification, unless the relevant ETQA policies specify otherwise. Moderation should also encompass achievement of the competence described both in Unit Standards as well as the integrated competence described in the qualification. Anyone wishing to be assessed against this qualification may apply to be assessed by any assessment agency, assessor or provider institution that is accredited by the relevant ETQA.
    To register as an assessor, the following are required:
  • Detailed documentary proof of relevant qualification/s, practical training completed, and experience gained (a Portfolio of Evidence)
  • NQF recognised assessor credit

    In particular, assessors should assess that the learner demonstrates an ability to consider a range of options by:
  • Measuring the quality of the observed practical performance as well as the theory and underpinning knowledge.
  • Using methods that are varied to allow the learner to display thinking and decision making in the demonstration of practical performance.
  • Maintaining a balance between practical performance and theoretical assessment methods to ensure each is measured in accordance with the level of the qualification.
  • Taking into account that the relationship between practical and theoretical is not fixed but varies according to the type and level of qualification.
