The scenario

PixelForge Games — Skybound launch

PixelForge Games is a small independent studio about to launch 'Skybound', a colourful platform adventure game for players aged 8-14. The studio needs a 45-second launch trailer, app store artwork, and a social media campaign. The trailer must feel fast, fun and family-friendly.

The task

Create a storyboard for the first 20 seconds of the Skybound trailer.

Plan at least 4 scenes totalling about 20 seconds that introduce the game world, show exciting gameplay, and end on the game logo. Annotate how your choices help the video editor assemble the trailer.

[10 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 video editor

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 video editor 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?
