Study Notes

Multimedia Production Stages

  • The purpose of multimedia production is to display and present multimedia elements.
  • A well-developed plan saves time, money, and multiple modifications.
  • The rule of thumb for development is 80% planning, 20% production.

Planning Stage

  • Determine the messages and objectives of the project.
  • Identify how each content and objective may work within the authoring system.
  • Plan what writing skills, graphic art, music, video, and other multimedia expertise will be required.
  • Ensure the developer/company's reputation is not damaged by a premature or erroneous release.

Testing Stage

  • Alpha testing: an alpha release is the first working draft of the project, only for internal circulation.
  • Alpha testing is usually done "in-house" by team members.
  • Alpha testing is expected to have problems or be incomplete.
  • Beta testing: done with a wider array of testers, representative of real users, and not involved with the actual production.
  • Beta level bugs are typically less virulent than alpha bugs.
  • Managing beta test feedback is critical.

Delivery Stage

  • The final project package is delivered to the end user.
  • Delivering the project on optical disks or on the web by hosting the pages on a web server.
  • Issues on delivery on the web include:
    • Creating a domain name that is easy to remember.
    • Web server can be bought and host the site in-house or outsource to a web hosting company.
    • Considerations for web hosting include storage, connection bandwidth, technical support, security, and search engine registration service.

Multimedia Production Team

  • A team of skilled individuals is required to create a good multimedia project.
  • Transferring multimedia assets from one platform to another must be done with care.
  • Criteria for team selection include:
    • Type and speed of processor.
    • Size of hard disk storage.
    • Connection to network.
    • Screen resolution (higher pixels numbers produce sharper image/video).
    • Sound card features (8-bit, 16-bit, etc.).
    • Video compression facilities.

Hardware Requirements

  • Platforms and Processors:
    • Windows OS running on Intel-based IBM PC.
    • Apple Macintosh Operating System.
  • High-quality multimedia can be created on specialized workstations from Silicon Graphics, Sun Microsystems, and sometimes mainframe computers.
  • Input Devices:
    • A wide variety of ways of interacting with multimedia applications.
  • Multimedia Storage:
    • High storage demands require careful estimation and consideration of storage media.
    • Examples include optical disks, hard drives, magnetic storage media, and cloud storage.
  • Multimedia Connections:
    • Speed of presentation depends on the appropriate connection between devices.
    • Collection of computers and other hardware components interconnected by communication channels.
    • Examples include LAN and WAN, cable and wireless connections (ethernet, fiber optic, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth), and ISP.

Software Requirements

  • Program used to create, edit, and combine multimedia elements.
  • Good ideas, talent, creative skills, and good organization of work are essential.
  • Categories of software tools include:
    • Text editing tools.
    • Painting and drawing tools.
    • 2-D, 3-D modeling and animation tools.
    • Image editing tools.
    • Sound editing tools.
    • Digital movie tools.
  • Examples of software tools include:
    • Text editing tools: Notepad, Microsoft Powerpoint.
    • Painting and drawing tools: Adobe Illustrator, Microsoft Powerpoint, Autocad, Inkscape.
    • 2-D, 3-D animation tools: Adobe After Effects, Blender, etc.
    • Image editing tools: Photoshop, Adobe Lightroom, etc.
