  2. Chapter 4 Effective Presentation 4.1 Multimedia Elements • Multimedia Elements include • Text • Sound • Graphics • Animations • Video • Multimedia elements as medium to convey information to your audience • They have different impacts on your audience

  3. 4.1 Multimedia Elements 4.1.1 Text • Used in • Heading and Text • Features include • Text colour, Typeface, Font Size, Font Style etc. • Merits of using text • Provided important information clearly • Linked to other multimedia elements

  4. 4.1 Multimedia Elements 4.1.2 Sound (1) • Sound used in • transition, background music, or recording conversation • 1. Digital audio • Recorded sound that have been digitised • Recorded by a microphone and sound card • The most common form is • WAV (uncompressed) and • MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer-3) (compressed) • Taking up large storage space

  5. 4.1 Multimedia Elements 4.1.2 Sound (2) • 2. Computer Music • MIDI (stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a coded version of music • Recording musical notes • played by musical instrument, like piano or violin • interpreted by sound card • taking up very small storage space • Merits of using sound • Providing an additional medium over sight vision • Seek attention from audience • Increase the credibility of a presentation, • e.g. the speech of the principal

  6. 4.1 Multimedia Elements 4.1.3 Graphics (1) • Including • photographs, drawings, charts from a spreadsheet • 1. Bitmap • 2. Vector • 3. Graphic file size • Merits of using graphics • "A picture is worth a thousand words." • Help audience to understand most quickly • Providing visual impact by complementing the text on the page.

  7. 4.1.3 Graphics 4.1.3 Graphics (2) • 1. Bitmapped graphics • Using a matrix of dots (or pixels) • e.g. • Scanned images using a digital camera • Photo of digital camera • Screen captures • Graphics downloaded from Web, e.g. PNG, JPG and GIF • Giving realistic and precise image • Larger storage size • Lose quality enlarged

  8. 4.1.3 Graphics 4.1.3 Graphics (3) • Vector graphics • Using geometry, such as lines, circles or squares etc. • e.g. • Charts in a spreadsheet • Drawings by the tools in a presentation software • Files with extension WMF. • Used in illustrating concepts • Small storage size • Image quality is unchanged when resized

  9. 4.1.3 Graphics 4.1.3 Graphic File Size (1) • Bitmap graphic file size depends on • screen resolution (in pixel), or • the size of the graphic (in inches) and • print resolution (in dpi) • number of color used • Image size (Screen resolution) is measured in pixels • e.g. 640 x 480 pixels • The print resolution of a graphic is measured in dot (pixel) per inch (dpi). • For screen display, the resolution is 72 dpi. • For outputting on a printer, the resolution is more than 175 dpi. • For high quality output, the resolution can be as high as 300 dpi.

  10. 4.1.3 Graphics 4.1.3 Graphic File Size (2) • Typical numbers of colour used in bitmap graphics are • 2, 256, 65,536 and 16 millions • Bitmap graphic file size depends on • complexity of the graphic • unchanged by enlarging the graphic

  11. 4.1 Multimedia Elements 4.1.4 Animations • Animations • Multiple drawings are shown in a rapid sequence to give an illusion of motion • Consist of moving objects • e.g. • Animated GIF and Flash Movie • Merits of using animations • Effectively demonstrate an idea • Have high impact

  12. 4.1 Multimedia Elements 4.1.5 Video (1) • Video • Full-motion recording of an event • Captured by a DV camera or a video capture card • Requires large storage space and a lot of computing power • File size depends on • Screen size • Colour depth • Frames rate: • Number of frames shown per second e.g. 30 fps • Duration

  13. 4.1 Multimedia Elements 4.1.5 Video (2) • e.g. • AVI, MPG etc. • Merits of using videos • “A video is worth a thousand of pictures.” • Videos have the greatest impact. • Your efforts will be appreciated
