4.3.3 MULTIMEDIA PRODUCTION

OVERVIEW

Multimedia can be defined as a computer based interactive communications process that incorporates text, graphics, animation, video and audio. Multimedia provides an environment in which the user can interact with the program. Multimedia can be delivered in the form of CDs or web-based using the Internet. The production of multimedia involves 6 phases. They are analysis, design, implementation, testing, evaluation and publishing phases. In this module, we will go through each phase in detail to produce a multimedia production that will be delivered in the form of CD.

A. Phase 1 – Analysis

LEARNING OUTCOMESYou should be able to:

1. investigate and write a short report of the findings.

DURATION: 2 periods

I). Introduction:

a). What is analysis phase?

Analysis phase is the first phase in multimedia production. In this phase, problems will be defined and the possible solution will be determined. Preliminaryinvestigation will also be carried out.

Situation 1:You are working with the Malaysian Tourism Board. One day, your boss asks you to produce a multimedia project which is informative and interactive for the ‘Visit Malaysia Year’ campaign.

Study and analyse the above situation, then1. Identify the project title.2. Identify the problem.3. Determine the objective that you want to accomplish.4. Determine the possible solution.5. Determine the target audience or end user.6. Fill in the Problem Statement.



Example : Problem Statement

Items Response(s)

Project title Visit Malaysia Year

ProblemsTo produce an informative and interactive multimedia

Objectives- to introduce Malaysia- to give more information on interesting places

in Malaysia- to give an idea about Malaysian cultures and

customs- to introduce local cuisines

Possible solutions An informative and interactive multimedia project containing texts, videos, audios, animation and graphic; provide an interactive tour to the users

Target Audience Local and Foreign tourists

Based on the analysis, an example of a short report shown below:

Example of a short report

This multimedia project is about the ‘Visit Malaysia Year’. This project will promote and introduce interesting places in Malaysia. Malaysian cultures and customs and also the famous Malaysian cuisines are attractive to pull both local and foreign tourists.



b). Activity 1:

Situation:

Your school is going to have a new intake for the Form 1 students. As a school head prefect, you are given the responsibility by your principal to produce a multimedia project which will include all the information about your school for theparents and the new students. Your multimedia project must be both informative and interactive.



Based on the analysis, write a short report of your project title.




B. Phase 2 - Design

LEARNING OUTCOMES

You should be able to:1. apply CASPER into multimedia project;2. provide an overview of the project in the flow chart ; and3. create storyboards.

DURATION: 4 periods

I). Introduction: What is design phase?In the design phase; the course content, navigational structure, assets, approach and graphic design are developed in detail. Sample graphics and layouts are established and technical requirements are specified.

a). Activity 1

Study the CASPER design principles and apply it to in your multimedia project. CASPER Screen Design And Layout Principles

Contrast

The principle of contrast states that, if two items are not exactly alike then it makesthem different. Contrast provides interest within a piece of graphic and keeps the observer entertained.

Alignment

Alignment is the idea that, while items are separated by idea and space (the principle of proximity) they are still all part of the same page. Nothing should be placed on a page arbitrarily; each item should have a visual connection with something else on the page.



Simplicity

Gaining attention is an important part in any communication act, it is important to try to keep your message as simple as possible:

� use accurate words for text and graphics as it is absolutely necessary to get your point across

� superfluous graphics can interfere with understanding.� an over abundance of fonts or colours can distract rather than assist

learning. The general rule of thumb is to use graphics that are as simple as possible when displaying content on the screen. Provide the main ideas and a means of getting more information for those who might need or desire it.

Proximity

The principle of proximity states that things, that are closer together, will be seen as belonging together. Looking at thepicture on the right, since the horizontal rows of circles are closer together than the vertical columns, we perceive two vertical lines. Since the first two columns and the last two columns have less space between them than the centre two columns, we perceive two groups of two columns.

Emphasis

One method used to attract attention in the design of a screen or work of art is the use of a focal point. A focal point draws your attention to the most important element on the page. There are several techniques used to emphasize the most important object on a page.

Emphasis by IsolationIf most of the elements in a work of art are grouped closely together, an object by itself stands out as a focal point.

Emphasize with text attributes.Use highlighting or boldface to draw attention to the main points. Underlining rarely looks good on screen. Blinking should only be used in critical situations. It is distracting. Vary the size and rotation of text to attract attention. Scrolling text is generally not a sound practice in interactive multimedia (IMM). Multiple fonts should rarely be used. Pick a good font and work with its different styles.



Repetition

Repetition is the idea that consistency can be gained by repeating elements throughout a page or series of pages. Repetitive items in a piece, tie it together as a whole. The best computer interface will maintain a consistent look. In particular,icons used for navigation should maintain one position to avoid confusing the learner. It is also wise to use similar font faces and colour schemes throughout a particular interface, unless the change is used to signal a new unit, topic, or section

Introduction

Implementation of the design includes using a program development tool that assists the programmer by generating or providing some or all code, or includes writing the code that translates the design into a computer program and, if necessary, creating the user interface.

D. Phase 4 – Testing


1. test an on going multimedia production.2. repair and fixed of any problems that testing exposes.3. use the check list for testing.

DURATION: 4 periods

a). What is testing?Testing is an ongoing process and should begin at the very beginning stage of multimedia production. It is important to test the design and the function to find out how the user interacts with the multimedia products

b). Who will do the testing?Your friends, teacher or any one can do the testing.

c). Why do we need to test our multimedia production?This is to repair and fix any problems that testing exposes. You cannot predict how someone who has never seen your product before, will use it. Independent testing also gives you feedback on how your product performs. Testing the process will prove or indicate where you need to make changes.

d). Do I need to have all the items listed in the checklist?No, not all the items given should be in your multimedia productions. For example, if you have navigation buttons, there is no need for hotspot.

e). What to do with the checklist?

Just tick ( � ) at the Yes or No column according to the items shown in the Multimedia Production and give some comments regarding the item tested for improvement if needed.Example: When user guides are given but not in proper order, then we have to give some comments on that part to be improved by the developer.f).

E. Phase 5 – Evaluation

DURATION : 2 periods

Learning Outcome :Students should be able to assess their own multimedia project by using the checklist form.

a). What is evaluation phase?The evaluation of a project is an on going process. This phase of the development process focuses on summative evaluation and measures the effectiveness of the project.

Evaluation process focuses on the product used rather than its features and functions. It is done earlier to discover any design faults and reduce the costs of correcting the faults. It can reduce the need for technical help and training costs. Thus, increasing users’ satisfaction.

Evaluation reduces ‘over design’ by making you aware of what the user really needs. There is a range of different types of evaluation that can be applied to an educational multimedia product. Some of them are stated in the evaluation form below.
