1-1A Di$ital Creative E!viro! e!t

#oday$s creation and production of images is performed with the aid ofcomputers % increasingly% professionals from wide variety of visualdisciplines are working with digital information.

&ome of the traditional visual practices based on drawings % painting%photography and video techni'ues are merging with digital imagingtechni'ues.

A decade ago% visual professionals used to purchase tools speciali(ed fortheir professions. #hese tool were useful for doing the works in their field butnot in others. A photographer% for e)ample would use a photographiccamera to capture reality on film %and traditional animator would use a penciland light table to create animated se'uences of drawings on paper.

1-' A Develop e!t o( t#e Te%#!olo$

omputer particularly their visual capabilities are proudly altering the wayin which we create and distribute images. But the powerful of the computersystem are so common today.

#he early computer models were called mainframes because all their bulkycomponent were housed in large steel frames.

Minicomputers smaller and less e)pensive than mainframes but almost aspowerful were developed in an attempt to bring computers to a wideraudience and range of application.

&upercomputer usually bigger and more e)pensive than mainframescomputer %were develop to tackle most ta)ing computing pro7ects regardlessthe cost and with an emphasis on speed and performance.

Before the mid+/0<@s the large ma7ority of artist found computers veryuninteresting. #hey were too e)pensive and difficult to operate % even thesimplest task re'uired e)tensive programming. Most Model lacked monitors% printers % mice or graphic tablet.

Microcomputers with millions of microscopic electronic switches on a singlesilicon chip was develop in the mid+/0<@s.4ow powerful microcomputersare small enough to be carried in a briefcase.

omputer graphic technology was developed in the early /0 @$s to makevisible what was invisible to the human eye. Most of these early applicationwere related to the military % manufacturing or the applied science.

As agreed by variety of storytelling tradition% stories are told in the conte)t ofa linear medium such as video or film consist of a beginning% middle and anend. #he action of the story usually moves from one event to another.

In most traditional sense%

The 6eginning of the story = also called e)position or setup. #he situationthat develop story.

The middle of the story- also called confrontation or body clima).

The end of the story = also called resolution usually contain the outcomeof the dramatic se'uence of events in the story.

&torytelling in most visual media happens in a linear way because images %sounds and te)t follow each other in a single predetermined order.

But variety of possible se'uences may be possible in an interactive pro7ectbecause users can make different re'uest and also follow a variety of path .Interactive pro7ect may have multiple ending and even multiple beginningeach time they played.
