R093 storyboard and mind map practice questions
Steve Benton, computing teacher and founder of SubjectHub
Storyboard questions turn up rarely in R093 papers, but when they do they are worth up to 9 marks. Pupils get very few R093 storyboard practice questions before the exam. A storyboard is slow to mark by hand, so they get little feedback on the ones they do.
Built on screen, marked like the exam
Pupils build the storyboard on screen, scene by scene: shot types, angles, camera movement, sound and timings. The marking gives it a level, a written comment and the checks it made. A pupil can see why it got a 6 and not a 9.
There are 228 new storyboard and mind map questions, alongside the rest of the R093 bank.
How the R093 storyboard practice questions are marked
The example above is a five-scene storyboard for a 25-second charity video, made by a demo pupil. Each scene has a shot type, an angle, a camera movement, the kit, the sound and an annotation.
It was marked Level 3, 9 out of 10. Under the written comment, each of the marker's checks is ticked or crossed. So the missing mark has a reason a pupil can act on.
Mind maps work the same way. That includes the "improve this mind map" questions, where the pupil regroups the branches and adds sub-ideas.
If your class is new to these, start with the R093 storyboard exam question guide and how to make a storyboard. The R093 revision pages cover every topic area.
