Purpose
This qualification is for people who operate a television camera for racing broadcasting in
an outside broadcasting situation.
People will have the skills to position a television camera and take routine shots in a multicamera environment in an outside broadcasting situation. People will also have
knowledge of television cameras and accessories; camera shots and positions; video
signals; camera and equipment storage and handling; guidelines for health and safety;
operational areas, and pre and raceday procedures; lighting; the structure and functions of
the New Zealand Racing Board; and thoroughbred, harness, and greyhound racing and
raceday operations.
All standards in this qualification are compulsory because camera operation for racing
broadcasting contains a set of well-defined skills and knowledge that apply across all
racing broadcasting workplaces.
The qualification also contains two optional strands. If people wish to further progress and
specialise in either advanced camera operation or electronic field production, then
completion of the relevant optional strand is required.
The Advanced Camera Operation optional strand recognises the advanced technical and
operational skills required to recognise, position, and shoot complex shots. The Electronic
Field Production optional strand is for people who operate television cameras with onboard vision and sound, in a variety of locations shooting for racing entertainment
programmes.
This qualification contains standards in common with the National Certificate in Racing
Broadcasting (Sound Operator) (Level 3) [Ref: 1550].
On completion of this qualification people can progress to a range of generic business
qualifications depending on their area of interest and career pathway.
