Synopsis
This unit provides a focus on specialist tools and techniques that are used for developing content-rich interactive multimedia systems using Adobe Flash. This unit will cover fundamental multimedia principles and best practice theory, the application of practical development processes, the integration of mixed-media assets, interactive design and ActionScript programming for digital media and different technologies for product deployment. Students will create content-rich interactive applications and/or web-based products using an industry standard authoring tool, Adobe Flash, and will gain an understanding of the role of digital media within the broader technology environment.
Outcomes
On successful completion of this unit, students should be able to:
- identify and apply the formal processes undertaken for preparing and documenting the design specification and prototype development stages of a multimedia application;
- construct a functional interactive project given a specific brief using a graphical authoring environment (eg: Adobe Flash CS6);
- identify, design and develop appropriate assets for the creation of a functional user interface using an appropriate navigational structure;
- execute a range of special effects which are commonly required for interactive design in multimedia applications (eg: animation, visual and audio feedback, etc.);
- demonstrate intermediate programming techniques using the required authoring language (eg: ActionScript 3.0) using an object-oriented approach to programming development;
- identify and interpret the nature of technical issues that are encountered during the development and testing of a multimedia application;
- modify or adapt learned programming techniques to extend these skills across multiple languages.
