    MULTIMEDIA ELEMENTS

    THE FIVE MAIN ELEMENTS OF MULTIMEDIA


    In a multimedia application, basically the elements of multimedia are divided into two: static
    (objects that do not move) and dynamic (objects that move or change).
    Texts and graphics are two elements that do not move whereas the other three elements:
    audio, video and animations are moving objects within a multimedia application.
    MAIN ELEMENTS OF MULTIMEDIA

    Static Elements

    Text

    Graphics

    Dynamic Elements

    Video

    Audio

    Animation

    TEXT
    Text is the basic element of multimedia. It involves the use of text types, sizes, colours and
    background colour.
    In a multimedia application, other media or
    screen can be linked through the use of text.
    This is what you call Hypertext.
    To produce an effective multimedia program
    there are three things that need to be
    considered. They are:

    The position of the text on the screen.


    Length of the message
    And legibility of the text.

    GRAPHIC
    Graphics make the multimedia application attractive.
    They help to illustrate ideas through still pictures.
    There are two types of graphics used: bitmaps (paint
    graphics) and vector (draw graphics).
    Bitmaps images are real images that can be captured
    from devices such as cameras or scanners.
    Vector graphics are drawn on the computer and only
    require a small amount of memory.
    AUDIO
    A multimedia application may require the use of speech, music
    and sound effects. These are called audio or the sound
    element. There are two basic types of audio or sound: analog
    and digital audio.
    Analog audio refers to the original
    sound signal. Digital audio refers
    to the digital sampling of the actual sound. The sound used in
    multimedia is digital audio.
    We can record analog audio file. We can use special audio
    editors like Sound Forge to convert analog audio files into digital
    audio files.

    VIDEO
    Video provides a powerful impact in a multimedia program. In multimedia applications, the
    digital video is gaining popularity because of the following reasons:

    video clips can be edited easily


    the digital video files can be stored like any other files in the computer and the quality of
    the video can still be maintained
    the video files can be transferred within a computer network
    it allows non-linear editing in any part of the video

    However, these digital video files are large in size. Transferring these files can take a long
    time especially when using the Internet.
    ANIMATION
    Animation is a process of making a static image
    look like it is moving. In multimedia, digital
    animation is used. Digital animation can be
    categorised into two broad area: 2D (2
    Dimension) and 3D (3 Dimension) animations.
    2D animation refers to creating movements in
    basic objects. These objects are put into various
    situations or positions and have movement on the
    screen.
    3D animation refers to creating movements to
    three dimensional digital objects from photographs.
    Movements like spinning and flying across the
    screen are some samples of animations.
    STANDARD FILE FORMATS
    Each of the five elements mentioned
    has various standard file formats. file
    format is a particular way to store
    information in a computer.
    The formats will allow you to make
    decisions of the type of text, graphic,
    audio, video and animation to use
    when developing your own multimedia
    program.
