Users Needs
The user is a charity called Energise Your Life.
They are trying to promote the dangers of drug abuse, smoking, not eating
healthily and stress management. They also promote fitness and exercise to
young people aged between 10 and 17 years old.
The user, Energise Your
Life, has asked me to produce three multimedia products for use in schools and
colleges. I need to first research the topics that Energise Your Life promotes
to gain an insight into them. This is because I will need knowledge on these
topics to successfully create the multimedia products that they want me to
produce. I then need to develop my own multimedia assets such as sounds, images
and text, which I will be able to use to help promote these topics to the
target audience.
Before I create each of
my products, I will create designs and after producing the designs I will have
appropriate test user give me feedback on them such as peers in my class and
people that are in the right age range for each product .
The first product that
I have been asked to produce is an e-learning package. In this product I need
to incorporate three topics that the charity Energise Your Life promotes. This
product needs to appeal to young people aged between 14 and 17 years old. To
make the product appeals to this age range I plan to use colourful screens,
user interaction (for example, quizzes) and multimedia assets. The assets that
I will use will by created by me and other people, when I am going to use
assets created by others I will ask the creator's permission to use their
asset. To produce the e-learning package I am going to use Microsoft FrontPage
as I feel that this program would be best to produce the e-learning package.
This is because I have the marjory of control over how the e-learning package
information will displayed and how the users will interact with it.
The second product that
I have been asked to produce is a movie to promote the e-learning to teachers.
In the movie I need to cover why they should use it to teach and how it can
help the learning process. The movie needs to be between 60 and 90 seconds
long. The programs that I am going to use to create the movie are Flash MX and
Windows Movie Maker. I plan to use Flash
MX because it is professional animating software; in this program you have
features like frames, you can create different layers and have full control
over the movement of objects – for example, you are able to create a smooth
movement of objects. I will then have to use Windows Movie Maker to combine
what I have created using Flash MX to produce the full and final movie.
The third product that
I need to produce is a presentation on one of the topics that I chose for the
e-learning package. The presentation needs to have at least 6 slides and run on
a continuous loop. To create the presentation I am going to use Microsoft
PowerPoint because I can use different slides for each issue of the chosen
topic. I can also set each slide to be viewed for a certain amount of time
before it changes.
