Introduction to Interactive Media What are we developing? Web sites Web based applications Educational interactives Museum interactives Games Phone Apps Help yourself kiosks

Introduction to Interactive Media Multimedia Development Multimedia development requires a 1)Team 2)Development Plan.

Introduction to Interactive Media The Development Team Team of experts is important for project. –Who are these people? What skills must they have? What is this process like? –Interactive—team members share expertise and ideas during the development cycle. –Iterative—revisions result from development feedback.

Introduction to Interactive Media Team Members Project manager –Responsible for delivering the product with promised features, on time, and on budget. –Oversees the business aspects of the development process. –Must be organized, focused, and task oriented. Project designer –Responsible for overall structure of content, the look, feel, and functionality of user interface.

Introduction to Interactive Media Team Members Content expert –Has detailed understanding of the topic. –Some projects may rely on the client to provide content for project. Writers –Create original text for the project. –Provide written requirements of the project such as documentation, contracts, help screens. –Technical writing skills are useful.

Introduction to Interactive Media Media Specialists Responsible for preparation of individual elements in a multimedia application. –Graphics specialist Artists skilled in design principles and most current digital technology. –Sound specialist Trained in traditional sound production and has a working knowledge of a sound studio. Familiar with digital tools for creating and editing sounds.

Introduction to Interactive Media Media Specialists –Animation artist Understands the principles of composition and color and can produce drawings. Understands the elements of motion and can envision action sequences. Knows computer animation programs and techniques. –Video specialist Videographers who have knowledge of film techniques, writing, sound, and digital video production and editing.

Introduction to Interactive Media Media Specialists –Programmer Responsible for computer code that unites the media elements and provides the product's functionality. –Acquisitions Specialist Knowledgeable about sources for copyright- protected content and process of securing permissions. Establishes agreements to protect the creative work of the project developers.

Introduction to Interactive Media Development Plan Addresses three essential tasks: Definition Design Production. Progress markers or rewards are identified at each stage. Deliverables are sent to the client as project takes shape. Payment schedules often tied to deliverables. Development is an iterative process: earlier stages are re-shaped as development progresses.

Introduction to Interactive Media STAGE 1: DEFINITION Identify project goal or purpose. –What should the application accomplish? Identify the audience. –Who are the intended users? Identify role of multimedia in this project. Advantages of multimedia to accomplish goal. Media elements it requires. Forms of interactivity to provide. Delivery method and cost estimate.

Introduction to Interactive Media Key Documents in Stage 1 Preliminary Proposal –Short description of the proposed application. Includes project goal, audience, outcomes, description of media, types and uses of interactivity, preliminary cost estimate. –Often includes a flowchart. A simple box diagram with brief descriptions of product contents.

Introduction to Interactive Media Sample Flowchart

Introduction to Interactive Media Key Documents in Stage 1 Storyboard –Series of sketches of major screens. –Rough drawings of media elements such as photos, animations, or videos are sketched in. –Navigational aides are identified. –Used to: Communicate with the client during the definition stage Communicate project goals and requirements to the development team.

Introduction to Interactive Media Sample Storyboard

Introduction to Interactive Media Key Documents in Stage 1 Functional specification –Detailed description of the elements and performance of multimedia project. –Basis of a detailed business contract. Developer and client understanding of what has been promised and the procedures to follow if changes are made in specifications.

Introduction to Interactive Media Stage 2: Design Purpose is to create an incomplete working model of the project—prototype. –First media elements are created. –Interface is designed. –Elements are combined to create the prototype. Media Creation –Required media identified in a content inventory list. –Media preproduction, production, postproduction are carried out.

Introduction to Interactive Media Interface Design User interface defines how user experiences the content on the screen. Goal of interface design is to engage the user. –Must support the project goals, match the expectations and abilities of audience. –Should establish appropriate tone determined by style of media elements and controls.

Introduction to Interactive Media Interface Design Features of user interface –Intuitive. Immediately understood by the user. Common strategy is to use a metaphor. –Consistent. Common backgrounds and consistent location of user controls. –Predictable and reliable. Similar actions should produce similar results. Identical actions produce identical results.

Introduction to Interactive Media Prototype An incomplete working model of the final product. Functions of prototype: –Refine the definition of the product –Test proposed features –Guide further work of team members. Generally built in the authoring application that will produce final project.

Introduction to Interactive Media Prototype (continued…) Used to test the product itself. Guides subsequent work to complete the project.

Introduction to Interactive Media Sample Prototype

Introduction to Interactive Media Stage 3: Production Remaining elements of product are created and integrated into the application. Includes quality assurance testing with bug reports and corrective measures. –Alpha version: includes most media elements but also many "bugs." –Beta version: includes all media but still has a few bugs. –Gold master: complete, bug-free application.

Introduction to Interactive Media Stage 3: Production (cont.) Completion of release notes, manuals, and packaging. Project materials are systematically archived. –Archived files may resolve disputes between client and developers. –Project may need revisions that use archived files. –Copyrighted materials may be used in future projects.

Introduction to Interactive Media Wrap Up Multimedia development is a team effort. –Team members provide expertise in the varied disciplines needed to complete the project. –Process is interactive and iterative. Development plan guides the process to keep production on task and on time. –Follows three major stages: Definition, Design, Production
