About Digital Media, Graphics and Audio-Video

GoConqr Original

What the page covers

The resources here deal with how digital media is stored, made and shown. Graphics is the biggest theme: the Data Types mindmap runs through text, image, audio and video, and lists character codes such as ASCII and Unicode alongside file types such as BMP, JPEG, GIF, PNG and MP3. Several maps and decks compare bitmap and vector graphics, including Vector or Raster? and Digital Imaging, which looks at file size, re-sizing and standard manipulation tools.

Animation, sound and video each have their own maps. Animation weighs up file formats such as PNG, with its better compression than GIF. VIDEOS begins with what a video is and the kinds there are. There are also many maps on sound and music, plus notes on sample rate.

Where to start

  1. Open Data Types mindmap for the big picture of media types and formats.
  2. Move to Digital Imaging or Bitmap images to understand how pictures are made and why file size matters.
  3. Read Animation, then the video format and sound maps.
  4. Finish with a quiz.

Using quizzes and maps together

Read a map first, then test yourself. Computer Graphics Basics asks why triangles are used and how transformations build up, which suits anyone meeting 3D graphics. 2017 HSC Mutlimedia Questions asks which file type suits photographs on a website. Industrial Technology Multimedia Past HSC questions covers tweening and path-based animation. Wrong answers show which map to reopen. Flashcard decks such as Multimedia, which covers the electromagnetic spectrum and how the eye sees, suit short sessions.

Exam names that appear in the listed resources include GCSE ICT, GCSE Computer Science, IGCSE ICT, BTEC ICT, OCR Creative iMedia and HSC. Check what your own course needs before relying on any one resource.

Where it fits

This unit sits in the Web, Mobile, Games and Digital Media strand of Computing and ICT. Choose one map today, take a quiz on it, and see what you remember.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I open first?

Start with the Data Types mindmap. It links text, image, audio and video to the codes and file types used to store them, so later topics such as graphics, sound and video formats make more sense. After that, move on to the Digital Imaging or Animation maps.

Are there past exam questions here?

Yes. There are quizzes based on HSC papers, including 2017 HSC Mutlimedia Questions, 2013 HSC Multiple Choice and a quiz of past HSC multimedia questions for Industrial Technology. They ask about file types, animation and devices for digital sketching. They are community-made, so compare them with your own course.

What do the mind maps cover?

They cover bitmap and vector graphics, digital imaging, animation techniques, video formats, sound and music, image acquisition and web and presentation software. Some follow a topic numbering, such as Topic 16: Digital Imaging and Topic 17: Animation. Others are short overviews, like Multimedia Components.

Which exams and levels do the resources suit?

Most resources are at secondary level, with a smaller share for university study. Listed resources mention GCSE ICT, GCSE Computer Science, IGCSE ICT, BTEC ICT, OCR Creative iMedia and HSC. University students will find lecture-style decks on computer graphics and image processing.

Are these resources free, and who made them?

Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. A free account saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.

What if I can't find the topic I need?

Try a nearby title first. Graphics material appears under names such as Raster graphics, Bitmapped Graphics and Vector/Bitmap Graphics, and sound material under Sound and Music or Audio. If a topic still isn't covered, you can build your own map or deck to fill the gap.
