CHAPTER 1: MULTIMEDIA CONCEPTSObjectivesUpon the completion of this chapter, the students will be able to: Define multimedia and list some examples.Enumerate the disadvantages and advantages of multimedia.List the components of multimedia system.Identify the different objects of multimedia.Explain virtual reality and its relationship to multimedia.List examples of multimedia standards those are relevant to the field.Enumerate and explain the stages of multimedia application development in the correctsequence.Categories multimedia software according to the phase they are used in the life cycle of amultimedia system.1.0 Introduction to Multimedia1.1.1 What is Multimedia?Multimedia is the media that uses multiple forms of information content and informationprocessing (e.g. text, audio, graphics, animation, video, interactivity) to inform or entertain theuser.Multimedia also refers to the use of electronic media to store and experience multimedia content.Multimedia is similar to traditional mixed media in fine art, but with a broader scope. The term"rich media" is synonymous for interactive multimedia.1.1.2 Objectives of MultimediaThe objectives of a multimedia system are as follows: to send information educate the public provide entertainment1.1.3 Advantages of MultimediaThe use of multimedia offers many advantages:1. Enhancement of Text Only Messages: Multimedia enhances text only presentations byadding interesting sounds and compelling visuals.2. Improves over Traditional Audio-Video Presentations: Audiences are more attentiveto multimedia messages than traditional presentations done with slides or overheadtransparencies.3. Gains and Holds Attention: People are more interested in multimedia messages whichcombine the elements of text, audio, graphics and video. Communication research has12FUNDAMENTALS OF MULTIMEDIA
shown that the combination of communication modes (audio and visual) offers greaterunderstanding and retention of information.4. Good for "computer-phobics": Those who are intimidated by computer keyboards andcomplex instructions are more comfortable with pressing buttons with a mouse or on ascreen.5. Multimedia is Entertaining as Well as Educational.1.1.4 Disadvantages of MultimediaMultimedia also poses some limitation as follows:1. Information overload. Because it is so easy to use, it can contain too much informationat once.2. It takes time to compile. Even though it is flexible, it takes time to put the original drafttogether.3. It can be expensive. As mentioned in one of my previous posts, multimedia makes useof a wide range of resources, which can cost you a large amount of money.4. Too much makes it unpractical. Large files like video and audio has an effect of th
