Animation

Multimedia is the field related to the computer-controlled integration of texts, (still or moving images) graphics, drawings, audio and animations. The information/content in the multimedia can be represented through digitally (audio, video and animation) in contrast to traditional media. The multimedia technology applies interactive computer elements such as text, pictures, video, graphics, animation and sound into a single form to deliver the message. Multimedia presentations may be viewed by a person on stage, projected, transmitted, or played locally with a media player. A broadcast may be a live or recorded multimedia presentation. The various formats of technological or digital multimedia aim at enhancing the user experience by conveying information easier and faster. The multimedia programme enables students to learn how to use computer programmes and create interactive presentations materials. Students are trained in website development software like Cascading Style Sheet or the Adobe Creative Suite, which includes Photoshop, Flash, Illustrator and Dreamweaver. Besides this, they will also learn design techniques using multimedia technology.
