5. Consider a Multimedia Project. Explain in details about necessary steps to complete the project within specified time and budget.
Ans: Before starting multimedia projects we have to take care of a lot of things. from the part of planning or bringing idea to the execution its important to manage the budget also.
for me these are the steps of the Project:

1. Planning: A planning meeting is a crucial part of the multimedia development process. It creates a shared vision for everyone working on the project. The meeting usually kicks off a project, bringing together the team. During the meeting, the project manager communicates the major goals and lays out the milestones. 

2. Script Writing: Most multimedia projects have a story behind them. After the initial meeting, the people in charge of the background story write a script, creative brief or outline. The text hits the main points of the project and uses language that appeals to the audience in jargon, tone and style

3. StoryboadingA multimedia project usually includes multiple pieces: audio, video, imagery, text for voice overs and on-screen titles. Story boarding ties everything together; a story board panel for a scene includes a sketch of the visual elements, the voice over or title text, and any production notes. It guides the process, keeps everyone in check and gives structure to the project.

4. Designing: During the design stage, designers take over the visual aspects of the project to determine how it looks and feels. Using the notes from the storyboard, they create graphics, design the navigation and give direction to photographers and videographers regarding the correct shots. Depending on the project, the design stage might include graphic design, web design, information design, photography or image collection.

5. Editing: Editing is one of the most involved and complex stages of the multimedia development process. The people responsible for editing the project turn the various pieces into a cohesive product, taking into consideration the time constraints, story line and creative specifications. Depending on the scope of the project, pieces of the project may be edited separately. For projects with a large amount of video, editing is often the longest stage of the process; a minute of final video can take hours of editing

6. Production: The production stage is when all the parts of a multimedia project come together. The production staff gathers all of the edited assets in one place and puts them together in a logical sequence, using the story board as a guide. The rough draft is then put through rounds of review and final edits, both internally and with the client. To ensure that a project has the desired impact on the target audience, a company may engage in user testing as part of production. During this stage, test members of the audience use the multimedia piece while team members observe. Depending on the goals of the project, the staff might observe users' reactions or have them answer questions to see if the project hits the right marks. After user testing, there are usually further adjustments to the project. Once the team and clients are satisfied, the project goes out for distribution.

Search engine


4. How does search engine works?
Ans:
All search engine work using a 3 phase approach to managing , ranking and returning search results. But a lot of people have no idea what is happening behind that search box when they type in their search queries. So just how do Google, Bing and the rest of them work out what is on the web, what is relevant to your general query and which specific websites should be ranked highly?
There are three functions which need to be done:
Web Crawling
This is the means by which search engines can find out what is published out on the World Wide Web. Essentially, crawling is copying what is on web pages and repeatedly checking the multitude of pages to see if they are changed and make a copy of any changes found.
The programs which have the job of doing this are variously referred to as robots, crawlers, spiders or some variation using ‘web’, e.g.  web crawler..

Indexing

Once a spider has crawled a web page, the copy that is made is returned to the search engine and stored in a data center.  Data centers are huge, purpose built collections of servers which act as a repository of the all the copies of web pages being made by the crawlers. Google owns dozens of them dotted around the world, which it guards very closely and which are among the most hi-tech buildings in the world.
The repository of web pages is referred to as the ‘Index’, and it is this data store which is organized and used to provide the search results you see on the search engine. Indexing is the process of organizing the masses of data and pages so they can be searched quickly for relevant results to your search query.

The Algorithm

Finally, we have a huge collection of web page copies which are being constantly updated and organized so we can quickly find what you are looking for. But we need a means by which they can be ranked in order of relevance to your search term – this is where the Algorithm comes into play.
The algorithm is a very complex and lengthy equation which calculates a value for any given site in relation to a search term.  We don’t know what the algorithm actually is, because search engines tend to keep this a closely guarded secret from competitors and from people looking to game the search engine to get to the top spots.  That said, enough about the algorithm has been worked out to let SEOs advise website owners on how to improve their sites and SEO Factors to move up in the rankings

RISK OF WEB 2.0



3. Explain the risk associated in Web 2.0
ANS: The second stage of development of the internet, characterized especially by the change from static web pages to dynamic or user generated content and the growth of social media is Web 2.0

Risk associated with Web 2.0 are:

1. Hackers can far more easily attack Web 2.0 sites with tactics such as cross site scripting (XSS) simply because there are more opportunities 'attack surfaces,' in techie parlance than in traditional scenarios.
2. Phishing: "Hackers can far more easily attack Web 2.0 sites with tactics such as cross site scripting (XSS) simply because there are more opportunities -- 'attack surfaces,' in techie parlance -- than in traditional scenarios. "There are also social risks to consider. The essence of Web 2.0 is increased interactivity.

3. Web 2.0 combined with our “work-from-anywhere” lifestyle has begun to blur the lines between work and private life. Because of this psychological shift, people may inadvertently share information their employer would have considered sensitive. Even if individuals aren’t sharing the equivalent of trade secrets, the accumulation of the small “non-sensitive” items they share can allow a business’s competitors to gain intelligence about what’s going on and being worked on at that company.
4. Data integrity is one of the key elements of data security. Although a hack could lead to loss of integrity, so can unintentional misinformation. A great example of this in the public arena is a mistaken edit on Wikipedia which is then accepted as fact by many of the site’s visitors. In a business environment, having systems open to many users allows a malicious or mistaken user or users to post and publish inaccurate information which destroys the integrity of the data.

Application software




What is mean my Application software? Explain the role of Multimedia software in Publication.

ANS: An application is any program, or groups of programs, that is designed for the end user. Application Software includes such things that database programs, word processors, Web browsers and spreadsheets. Application software is a type of computer program that performs a specific personal, educational, and business function. each program is designed to assist the user with a particular process, which may be related to productivity, creativity and or communication.
