What is Multimedia?

Multimedia is the use of a computer to present and combine text, graphics,


audio, and video with links and tools that let the user navigate, interact, create, and
communicate. This definition contains four components essential to multimedia.
First, there must be a computer to coordinate what you see and hear, and to interact
with. Second, there must be links that connect the information. Third, there must be
navigational tools that let you traverse the web of connected information. Finally,
because multimedia is not a spectator sport, there must be ways for you to gather,
process, and communicate your own information and ideas. If one of these
components is missing, you do not have multimedia. For example, if you have no
computer to provide interactivity, you have mixed media, not multimedia. If there are
no links to provide a sense of structure and dimension, you have a bookshelf, not
multimedia. If there are no navigational tools to let you decide the course of action,
you have a movie, not multimedia. If you cannot create and contribute your own
ideas, you have a television, not multimedia.

What is literary adaptation?

Literary adaptation is the adapting of a literary source (e.g. a novel, short


story, poem) to another genre or medium, such as a film, stage play, or video game.

It refers to the process of translating a creative work from one medium to


another: a novel adapted into a film, for example. Hamlet has been adapted into
operas: Ambrose Thomas' 1868 version in French, and Franco Faccio's 1865
Amleto in Italian.

It can also involve adapting the same literary work in the same genre or
medium just for different purposes, e.g. to work with a smaller cast, in a smaller
venue (or on the road), or for a different demographic group (such as adapting a
story for children). Sometimes the editing of these works without the approval of the
author can lead to a court case.

It also appeals because it obviously works as a story; it has interesting


characters, who say and do interesting things. This is particularly important when
adapting to a dramatic work, e.g. film, stage play, teleplay, as dramatic writing is
some of the most difficult. To get an original story to function well on all the
necessary dimensions—concept, character, story, dialogue, and action—is an
extremely rare event performed by a rare talent.

Digital Storytelling

The process of crafting the digital story builds communication, creativity,


visual and sound literacy, and project management skills. Telling your stories with
text, pictures, and your own narration is easy. Frames helps you engage your
audience with features like pan and zoom, the ability to match frame duration to
sound recording, and more.
