The scenario

Kestrel Ridge Visitor Centre

Kestrel Ridge is a wind farm on the moors above the town of Brackenford. Its owner, Fellside Renewables, is opening a visitor centre so that school groups and families can learn how wind turbines make electricity. The centre needs touchscreen information kiosks, an augmented reality (AR) trail that visitors follow around the site on their phones, and three short educational animations.

The task

Fellside Renewables has drawn a storyboard for a 45-second welcome film that will play on the visitor centre kiosks. The sound technician will plan the recording and the soundtrack from it, but most of the sound details are missing or do not suit the film.

Improve the effectiveness of the storyboard for use by the sound technician. The pictures are already in the draft. The film must sound calm and friendly, with every voice clear even on the windy ridge, last about 45 seconds, and finish with the guide saying the centre's name. Kestrels nest on the ridge, so no loud noise can be made near them. Marks will be awarded for: relevant components and conventions used; layout; annotations that explain how the improvements help the sound technician in their role.

[9 marks]

What it is marked on

Storyboard techniques used consistently on every panel: scene numbers, shot types, camera angles and movement, timings, lighting, locations, sound and transitions
Panels that cover everything the brief asks for, in a clear sequence, adding up to the running time
Notes that explain how your choices help the sound technician

The marks fall in OCR's three levels. How R093 is marked explains them.

Questions

Is this the real exam?

No. It is a practice question in the style of OCR's R093 paper: a client scenario, a document for a named user, and an extended answer marked by three levels. SubjectHub wrote it from the specification and the published mark schemes; the real papers are set by OCR.

How is it marked?

Straight away and for free, code checks it: which storyboard techniques you used consistently on every panel the sound technician needs (scene numbers, shot types, angles, movement, timings, lighting, locations, sound and transitions), the running time against the brief, and an estimated level from that count. With a free account you also get the full mark: your notes are read, the brief and the draft's problems are checked, and code places the level by the same rule, so you get a mark, the level, feedback and one next step.

Do I need an account?

No, not to try it: answer it here and get the free check. For the full mark and examiner-style feedback, create a free account. Sign-up opens in a new tab, so your answer stays on this page, and it is kept in this browser if you come back later. Signed-in users get 10 full marks a day.
