OTS Requirements from OCR and Advice

Outline of Task: 

From OCR: "Create 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."
 


Advice for creating OTS' from Examiners

An examiner stated from marking previous films, “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, "I would recommend that candidates consider the use of royalty free music at an earlier point to avoid changes as they near completion."
