Shooting and Editing Video for Multimedia

Shooting and Editing Video for Multimedia

Question : Discuss several considerations in shooting and editing video for multimedia. What techniques would you use to produce the best possible video, at a reasonable cost? Which of these techniques apply to all video, and which apply specifically to multimedia?

 

Before begin to shoot and edit video for multimedia, the first thing you need is to come out with a storyboard and a good quality of camera to shoot a video with a technically capable video editor. Therefore, you need a computer with fast processor and lots of RAM as when you editing video, the software will consume lot of RAM and with fast processor, your computer will not hang during the editing progress.

 

In addition, the lighting that available or required for shooting is needed in order to provide the best output of the video. Additional lighting should be added if it is needed. Besides that, color issues as well as camera angles also play an important character in shooting and editing video. Lastly, check the background noise such as traffic jam before start to shoot video. If could not avoid, turn the speakers loudly and to make it clear.

 

In addition, I would recommend using a digital camera instead of DSLR video camcorder. With good techniques on recording a video and editing software, even though a digital camera also able to produce a good video clip. Thus, try to use our environment as the natural lighting system instead of renting expensive lighting system from the studio.

Design and Produce Audio Portions of Multimedia Project

Design and Produce Audio Portions of Multimedia Project 

Question : You have been assigned to design and produce the audio portions of a multimedia project. The program will be delivered on CD-ROM, and video clips will take up most of the CD. You have only 50MB of storage space to store 20 minute clips of speech, 10 songs averaging three minutes long and a background sound loop. What sampling rate and depth should you use for the speech, for the music, and for the background sound? Why? Roughly calculate the file size totals for these specifications, and be sure that you end up with less than the 50MB of storage space allotted. Discuss your reasoning.

MP3 format would be the choice for my entire audio file in video clip. This is because it has compressed without affecting the quality of sounds.
Speech - 96kbps bit rate for music, 128kbps bit rate for the sound quality as the soung quality is near to the CD quality, 128kbps bit rate for background sound loop.
Speech
60seconds * 96kbps = 5760 kb of data
5760/8 = 720kb (0.772mb)
0.72 *20 = 14.4mb
Music
180seconds *128kbps = 23040 kb of data
23040/8 = 2880kb (2.88mb)
2.88 * 10 = 28.8mb
Background song
300seconds * 128kbps = 38400 kb of data
38400/8 = 4800kb (4.8mb)
Total
14.4 + 28.8 + 4.8 = 48mb

 

 

MULTIMEDIA, INTERACTIVE MULTIMEDIA, HYPERTEXT, AND HYPERMEDIA

MULTIMEDIA, INTERACTIVE MULTIMEDIA, HYPERTEXT, AND HYPERMEDIA

Question 4 : Discuss the differences among multimedia, interactive multimedia hypertext and hypermedia.

Multimedia is the combination of text, sound, animation, video that delivered to people by computer or others electronic or digitally manipulated means. Therefore, when we put together the sensual element of multimedia that are pictures and animation, engaging sounds, compelling video and some textual information, it can helps you to read the thought and mind of people. In addition, multimedia is easy to use and integrated and interactive but of course it is expensive and requires special hardware.

 

Interactive multimedia is related to the concepts interaction design, new media, interactivity, human computer interaction, cyber culture, and includes specific cases such as, for example, interactive television, interactive advertising, social media, virtual reality, and so on.

 

Hypertext is text which is not constrained to be linear and contains links to other text. Therefore, you can move from one subject to another even thought they might have different forms. For example, by clicking on the link in a hypertext document, a user can directly jump from a different content to another. Hypertext usually related to web pages.

 

Hypermedia is a term derived from hypertext, extends the notion of the hypertext link to include links among any set of multimedia objects such as sound, motion video and virtual reality. It also can connote a higher level of user interactivity than the interactivity already implicit in hypertext. Hypermedia simply combines hypertext and multimedia. However, hypermedia should not be confused with hyper graphics or super-writing which is not a related subject.

 

 

 

Question 5 : Your boss wants you to create a hypermedia system for Web visitors to find technical support information about your company. What are some of the implications in creating this system? Should you hand-build the links or use an automatic indexing system? Why?

 
Hypermedia is the use of text, data, graphics, audio and video as elements of an extended hypertext system in which all elements are linked, where the content is accessible via hyperlinks. This could help the user to understand more about the company because it allows to gather information in non-linear way which means that the users would have a choice as to what path the users want to takes in order to gather information.
 With use of hypermedia, it restricts the slow speed and take times to load the site. For the question of should hand build the links or use an automatic indexing system, the answer is depends. However, I would like to recommend to use automatic indexing system because it able to enhance the usability of multimedia material after it is organized in a lesson structure. Moreover, it also allows the company to create different context-based presentations starting from the expected skills of target users. Besides that, it also helps to create a through system without missing any procedures.

Lab test 1

Lab test 

this week, i am going to explain what we had done for the second tutorial. I went for my first lab test.

The test given is to remove the dirt of these 3 pictures.Too bad, lecturer was only allowing us to use paint to do the editing of these 3 photos.

this is the 1st picture i had to help for this guy to remove the "make up".

im using the color picker to pick up the color so that i can have the same color texture to blend with the original skin's texture. The tools that i used to refill the color into it is the brush and the airbrush. Airbrush brought the color into natural ways after using the brush to cover the dirt on the man's skin.

 For the Lady gaga's picture, im using the same way, which using the color picker to pick up the texture. for this picture, im using the different brushes to edit the photos. i am using the oil brush to cover up the tatto on gaga's arm.

This is the last picture that i needed to do editing. this picture is easier to do editing, i am using only brush to paint on the wall.

Tutorial 1

1. Briefly discuss the history and future of multimedia. How might multimedia be used to improve the lives of its users? How might it influence users in negative ways? What might be its shortcomings?


  Multimedia, is a digital integration of text, graphics, animation, audio, still images and motion video in a way that brings users no matter they are organizational or individual users to the high levels of control and interaction. According to the Wikipedia source, Multimedia has been created since year 1966 on July. This innovation brings out benefit for communication channel by using text, audio, telecommunication devices, video and animation.

  For the future multimedia, it is very important to different fields, for instance, multimedia can be applied into advertisements, art, education, entertainment, engineering, business, e-marketing, scientific research and more. For the new generations, they are used to be relied on technologies in their life. Most of the people reply on internet, therefore, there are more multimedia using for commercial purpose. For B2B ( business to business), and interoffice communications are often used and developed their creative services firms for advanced multimedia presentations beyond simple slide shows to sell ideas or liven-up training. A picture is worth a thousand words, which means that a simple and nice presentation can add on pictures and videos so that they can attract more attention from their listener.

  For the entertainment, multimedia represent a heavy used in the entertainment industry on developing special effects in movies and animations. Flash animation presentation is used to smooth the talk, multimedia light is used to make people in concert have light spirit, graphic illustration is used to help students more understanding about one particular subjects. multimedia brings a new big steps on movie. For example, people using multimedia to create animation movie for the new market.

  Multimedia can improve the lives of users in its application. The most significant one is improving the lifestyles today. Users can know the latest news that happening around the world without walking out from their home. It brings more entertainment to the user. For example, smart phone or Ipad, as known as PAT , "personal Assistant Tool". There are many multimedia applications are invented as part of functions of smart phone. Users can play online games, listening songs or visit Youtube, 3G calls, or even capturing photos by using smart phone. Besides that, smart phone will also provided GPS systems that help users not get lost when travelling in new places.

  In the other hand, multimedia might wrongly used by the users or they are easily to influence in negative ways. The most significant is the privacy of the user may violated. For example, facebook details maybe hacked by others for other purposes. Some people may use their mobile phone to record down their sexual intercourse process and uploaded on Youtube. Multimedia software such as Photoshop can edit the pictures in order to create different story from paparazzi.

   Moreover, when it comes about shortcomings, multimedia might be a misuse channel for some unmoral organizations. Fake news was made to mislead others based on 'edited picture' by using multimedia software or other multimedia resource. Besides that, it can be expansive. The reason is as i mentioned earlier, multimedia makes use of a wide range resource which can cost you a large amount to make a better multimedia.




3. Multimedia is shifting from being localized (contained on a CD-ROM) to being distributed (available on the World Wide Web). What are some of the implications of this? Who will have access to the presentation? How will you keep it secure? How will you distribute it?

   Multimedia provides a single point of accountability . It promotes rapid return on investment and low total cost of ownership. Besides that it can respond quickly to the ever-charging demands facing your sevices organizations.

   Not only for that, Organization or non-organization can manage and automate every aspect od their business all within a single solution. Now a days, all of the people around the world can access to multimedia therefore it is a very important communication channel between human now. But first of all they have to provide access tools like specific bandwidth, hardware and software for get better result. We can keep it secure with a access key or password, or some kind of software like anti spam or antivirus.


   By World Wide Web we can distribute multimedia very fast and cheap. For better distribute we can use different kind of advertising in all websites or use banner for introduce better our products.
