Multimedia

Multimedia refers to using a combination of media to display content, from audio, visual, textual and interactive content forms. This is contrast to more traditional media such as print and still images (posters, newspapers, books), where content is conveyed through only one media platform at a time. Technological advance, particularly the advent of electronic media, has heralded the arrival of the widespread use of multimedia in the business world, education system, and entertainment industry.

The purpose of multimedia is not only to convey information in a more effective and attention-grabbing manner, but also to create an unforgettable experience that involves all the senses and interaction between presenter and audience. Most people think of spectacular entertainment shows (such as laser shows) or business presentations to clients and/or shareholders when they hear the word ‘multimedia’, however the uses of multimedia are very broad. The spread of multimedia can be seen across the internet, especially in social networking sites that feature photo sharing, textual status updates, animated games, and integrated video clips.

Multimedia can be classified into two broad categories: linear and non-linear. Linear forms do not require any interaction with the viewer or navigation control (such as automated Powerpoint presentations or movies shown at the cinemas). Non-linear forms involve interaction with the viewer whether live (requiring feedback or instruction) or recorded but needing navigation (menus on DVDs). In these forms the viewer controls the output (such as with computer or video games).

Multimedia Companies

Companies that offer multimedia services can transform your marketing approach for your goods and services. By converging a multi-sensual experience into a single form these companies use their expertise to take something complex and turn it into something that is easily used and accessed. For example, videos, presentations, reports, images, sound effects, maps and more can be combined on a single CD or DVD for your clients, shareholders and prospective customers.

The internet provides endless potential for combinations of multimedia. Multimedia companies can enhance your website to provide a comprehensive experience using voice-overs, Powerpoint presentations, animation, music, games, interactive content forms, and web-videos. This is then optimised to the smallest size possible for easy download and viewability.
