P1 - Unit 43

Multimedia
There are many different types of multimedia including text, animation, sound, still images, video, graphics and navigation. Text is used to tell people information and can highlight what things are. It can also be used to allow people to know what is being said if they have hearing problems and cannot hear what is being said. Text is usually used to educate and inform the audience. Animation can be used on cartoons and is used to create movement in the picture which will entertain people. Sound can be used to create sound effects and can be used with text so people can hear it. It can also be used for people who are not able to see the things being shown. Still images/pictures can present certain things that you want people to see. This would help people with again hearing problems if they are not able to watch informative videos as this would tell them what is involved whereas pictures would show them. This can be used to educate people as it will show what is being involved in the course. Video can be used to guide people and show people about the department. Graphics can include logos so this will include the schools logo. Logos are usually made to inform people of the particular thing they are talking about. Graphics can also include a picture that is drawn. Navigation can be used on the tour so people can go to the bits that they want to and see what they want to see. This would help people with physical needs that may not be able to take a tour themselves.

Business Requirements
My target audience for this will be for year 11 students that will be going into the Sixth form. The audience can also be for the parents of the students wanting to attend the sixth form as it shows what is involved in the particular department. It also allows them to have a better understanding of what happens in the department and what their child will be involved with. The purpose of this is to promote the subject. It states what is involved in the A Level course and what opportunities can be provided when doing the course.

Audience
The audience of my product is students starting the A Level Health and Social Care course aged 16 and possibly their parents. The audience will mainly be girls; however there are some boys that take part in this course. People that take part in this course usually are people person’s and enjoy the aspect of promoting people’s health. My product is not going to be aimed at any particular culture or race and will be universal as the school itself is open to anyone.   


My product will be multiplatform and will be able to be viewed from any computer. It will promote the health and social care department and will provide new A Level students with an insight into the course and what is involved in it.
