Unit R005: Creating an interactive product using multimedia components
OCR Level 1/2 Cambridge Nationals in ICT
Scenario for the Assignment
‘Out and Up’ is a company that runs team-building exercises for young adults. The company has
recently bought a small plot of woodland and has set up an activity centre that includes an assault
course and a café.
‘Out and Up’ want to use new technology to advertise this new activity centre to youth groups. You
have been asked to produce an interactive multimedia product that would advertise the facilities
available at the centre in a manner that would appeal to adults between the ages of 17 and 23.
‘Out and Up’ are aware that this advertising could take many different forms and are happy for you
to decide on an appropriate format for your product. However, the product must have a consistent
style throughout.
‘Out and Up’ already has a reputation for creating exciting team-building exercises and wants to
continue this reputation with the new activity centre. They are keen that the advertising that is
created for the centre should reflect their reputation. Therefore, they have asked that the
advertising uses a range of interactivity and effects to create an advert that appeals to the target
audience, is visually exciting and leads to bookings being made at the new centre.
In order to create your interactive multimedia product, you will need to:

Plan a product that meets the needs of the brief

Source multimedia components, taking account of relevant legislation

Create your product

Test your product, both whilst you are making it and once it has been completed.
You could use components (assets) from a range of sources, including those that teachers from
your school have already sourced, in order to create your interactive multimedia product.
Read through all of the tasks carefully, so that you know what you will
need to do to complete this assignment.
Important:

You will need to have access to the marking criteria. Your teacher can explain the
marking criteria if you need further clarification.

You will need to draw upon relevant skills/knowledge/understanding from other
units you have studied in this qualification.

Your Tasks
Task 1: Design interactive multimedia products
Learning Outcome (LO) 1 is assessed in this task.
It is important that, before you start to make your product, you have thought about what it is you
are going to make, the resources you will need to include, how you are going to combine these
resources together to create a suitable interactive multimedia product and how you will decide
whether the completed product is suitable.
A
Produce a design specification for your interactive multimedia product. This specification
should include the following:

A list of success criteria. These criteria should be used to decide whether or not the
completed product meets the needs of the client.

The type of interactive multimedia product you are going to create. This should be one
of the following:
o
o
o
o
website
a tablet or mobile phone app
a game
a product created using multimedia authoring or presentation software
The product you create should show your creative flair and be a vibrant, energetic and
stimulating product.
B
C

A plan for your product in a suitable format. This plan should show the interactive
components that will be included within the product, as well as the content and key
events.

The software you intend to use to create the product.
Explain the reasons for your choice of:

the type of product you are going to create

the software you are going to use.
Source and store multimedia components for inclusion in the product you are going to make,
taking account of any relevant legislation. Make a list of all the components you have stored.
Explain why you have chosen each component and consider the legal implications of using
each of them in your product.
You should demonstrate your ability to draw upon relevant skills/knowledge/understanding from
other units you have studied.
