Outline of OTS Requirements from OCR

Task: Put the outline of the task you are undertaking on this post. Make sure you are very aware of the items in bold.

Outline of task  - OCR stipulate: the titles and opening of a new fiction film, to last a maximum of two minutes. All video and audio material must be original, produced by the candidate(s), with the exception of music or audio effects from a copyright-free source. The main tasks may be done individually or as a group. Maximum of four members to a group.
 


OCR Examiner said “Some submissions were very short the target should be as close to two minutes as possible; there is no penalty for being either over length or significantly under, but candidates cannot expect to do themselves justice in a piece as short as one minute unless it contains immense complexity.”

Last year the moderator commented that: 
"I would recommend that candidates consider the use of royalty free music at an earlier point to avoid changes as they near completion."

This was because two groups decided to use non copyright free music and so had to re-do their sound last minute. The OTS actually improved as a result of more care and thought going into the copyright free music selected.
