This Ohio Competency Analysis Profile (OCAP), derived from a modified Developing a Curriculum (DACUM) process, is a current comprehensive and verified employer competency program list for graphic communications--commercial photography. Each unit (with or without subunits) contains competencies and competency builders that identify the occupational, academic, and employability skills needed to enter this occupational area. Within that outline are three levels of items: core, advancing, and futuring. Core items are essential to entry-level employment. Advancing items are needed to advance in a given occupation. Futuring items are needed to enter and remain in a given occupation 3 or 4 years from now. This profile contains 15 units: (1) professional behavior; (2) basic lab skills; (3) cameras and exposure control; (4) 35 millimeter single lens-reflex camera; (5) black-and-white negative development; (6) photographs for presentation printing; (7) medium format cameras; (8) video cameras; (9) lighting and backdrops; (10) portfolio; (11) digital processing; (12) color transparency films for audiovisual use; (13) printing color negatives; (14) professionalism; and (15) employability skills.
