The Dean of Faculty of
Creative Multimedia said that FCM is now moving forward into its second decade
of existence being the first such faculty in Malaysia in 1997. Many things have
changed over the years since its establishment. Each day hefind much inspiration
and challenge with the dynamic staff, innovative projects and eager young
students wanting to learn the future of multimedia. The young students in FCM
can impressive him through their artworks. Society is faced with increasing new
forms of multimedia communication, both from the technological tools and the
messages beamed to us each day via a fully electronic environment. As the world
moves into the global digishpere, we as the students of FCM, MMU are faced with
even bolder challenges to become future media creators.The faculty puts its
students first and makes every effort to provide a conducive learning environment
on all levels including technology. However, multimedia is not just about the
technology. In fact he would say that is the least it is about. Multimedia is
about creativity, imagination and dedication. FCM is a demanding faculty, but
the rewards to be gained are many. Malaysia, and indeed the world, is
recognising the overwhelming need for content. Content is king, and that will
be the key to setting yourself apart from "others", your creative
ideas. We need creative ideas to look different from others.The Faculty warmly
welcomes aspiring students from the world over. The curriculum, a mix of
psychology, cognitive science, arts, multimedia, aesthetics, creativity and
technology, prepares us for a challenging, exciting career in creative
multimedia and beyond into areas we now just dream of.

In Faculty of Creative Multimedia ,there are provided
1 year foundation studies.The role of Foundation Studies is
to provide suitable ground and basic skills especially in drawings and basic
computer graphics application and media production technique. There are several majors in Faculty of Creative
Multimedia which are Animation and Visual Effects , Advertising Design, Media
Arts, Interface Design , and Visual Reality.Film and Animation
students are expected to understand the process of producing an animation work

the production process, students will develop their technical skill and
artistic understanding in storytelling and animation groomed to become a

learning outcome that we look for in a project is the students' ability to
apply their knowledge on elements and principles of advertising into working
ideas. Our objective is to ensure that they acquire good understanding of
skills in creative concept, execution and production of creative multimedia
content. Besides that,the Interface Design (ID) Programme endeavours to educate
and train young designers to achieve creative and innovative solutions for ICT products,
services and applications. They also are taught how to provide meaningful
interfaces and exciting interactive solutions to enhance the user experience,

Faculty of Creative Multimedia, also known as FCM, we are not only
pursuing the success in academic but also the perfect ideation of one’s
personality. On the other hand we are not seeking the goods in an inflexible way; over-pressure eventually will kill the
creativity. Person who always bounded by "logical"
and "rules" would never develop a good idea because creativity cannot
be learnt from books but generate the values by your own. Therefore, the
Creative Multimedia Club, or known as CMC has prepared various events for the
students in order to develop their positive creative thinking. For example,
Research Creation Exhibition is a biennial exhibition where the students
showcase their creative multimedia works to the public. The event started from
2007, and the main theme of the exhibition last time was “Proscenium of Art,
Humanities and Technology”. Besides that, during 2010, the first major
photography event in MMU, Memoirs has been held in the Grand Hall of Multimedia
University. The main objective of the event was to create a platform for the student-photographers
to express and convey their minds and ideas through photography based on the
categories. The competition itself has attracted over 300 participants and the
exhibition for 3 days has attracted about 1200 visitors, which is a
very-unexpected number. Furthermore, the details of both of the events have
been included in Entitle, the only e-magazine of FCM. Recently, we also have 2
special events held in the FCM. There was a German & Malaysian Students
Program which opened to public on 23 of November; the next day was
following by the Guest Artists’ workshop with SVP2 from Tokyo, Japan, and it
was available for the FCM students only. Both of the events were part of The
2nd Kuala Lumpur Experimental Film and Video Festival, as known as KLEX 2011

If I could sum it up in
one sentence, for sure I would say that study in the Faculty of Creative
Multimedia in Multimedia University is a practical journey towards an awesome
life of a great designer, we are finely equipped in both mentally and
physically skills which plays no more than an important role to be the best
designers of the whole world. The excellence of our faculty is just undeniable.
For years, we have been receiving countless recognition from the society, and
yet, we are still trying to improve it whatever we can. I am so much satisfied
with the educations provided, and I have no regret choosing Multimedia
University as the place I pursue for higher education. For the one last thing I
want to mention, Multimedia University has just more than enough of in-campus
or out-campus events, from clubs, organizations or even societies that we can
show our talent and test our skills in doing those publication jobs required in
those events. No doubt we are having the best environment for you to be more
practical in those works! Some more, I just heard that our faculty is having
another amazing course offered, Cinematic Arts, claimed to be the first ever Hollywood-style
cinematography course offered in our country! Seriously, Multimedia University
is way too awesome!

From our article we had drew out a logical mind map.
Step 2:
In our first consultation, lecturer ask us to re edit our logical mind map to make it more colorful. The second assignment is write an extend essay. The idea for this extend essay is the crazy life style of fcm students. After our group discussion, the whole essay done by James Teo Chin Hao.
The crazy life style of fcm students
Life in FCM is just awesome,
there is no way you can make it a boring one, unless you are not really into
the life of FCM. Some said that life in FCM is nothing more but assignments.
Yes I pretty agree with that, but only when I rush for assignments for 3days
3nights without a goodnight sleep! Other than that, our life in FCM is just to
have fun! We have fun doing designs, we have fun doing photo shootings, we have
fun in drawings, we have fun in whatever ways, just because that we enjoy doing
it! Apart from that, life in FCM is just like accepting and denying challenges.
You can choose either to shoot a tree along the road side or a tree on top of
the highest mountain for your photography assignment, maybe is just the same to
you but not to us. Amazingly, FCM students love challenges! That is why most of
our art works are so brilliantly done! In fact, FCM is the place where we
expose to most of the fields in an indirect way. As an example, if we are given
a project of publicizing the car of BMW Company, then we will have to do
researches on fields as in engineering of the car, the way of designing it, and
so on, so that we can do the publication works which are going to give the most
impacts to the consumers. In whatever ways, if you are not really into the life
of FCM, you might find this a torture, but I bet most of us are not in that
group!
Enough for those good times, now for
those tough moments in FCM. Tough moment No.1: Rushing assignments! Is really a suffering time for us if those
submissions dates are dating each other together on the same day! If you guys
are a social networker, I bet you gonna see a lots more of green colour profile
pictures appearing on your homepage! Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, every of this
gonna flooded with “Arghh! Assignment gonna kill me!” these kind of status
updates. This is also the time when any stupid status update gets lots of
“likes” and “comments”. I am quite sure that every FCM students can’t live
without a social networking website! Seriously, FCM students are all nocturnal
beings! We never do our works during daytime but always at night. Until now, I
don’t even know why we are doing this. Here comes tough moment No.2: Burning
money for assignments! You know what, our assignments are not just killing our
brain cells, but burning our money in our pockets! The scariest sentence we
ever heard during submission is “Please reprint this, this, this and that!”
Every single piece of reprint works causes us to eat Roti Canai for our lunch
for days. But when we get our works printed out, we just can’t stop smiling
looking at our works, and everything is just turned out to be valuable at that
moment. Other than that, we need a large amount of money for buying those tools
like camera, stationery, camera equipments… Without that, we can’t do anything!
Last but not least, let me introduce you guys the worst part in the life of FCM:
We hardly get a break or holiday though throughout the sem! Even though there
is a week of holiday, but it still makes no different to us. The only different
is that we do our assignments in our hometown instead of in the hostel. As it
is like we can live without food but not assignments! As in return, we will start
to have more free time during the last few weeks of the sem as we already
finished all the assignments and just waiting to sit on the exam which carries
only 40percent of marks. And this is the time we start to mock on our friends
in other faculties!
Life in FCM, as in always, full
of excitements!
This is of 1 the critical method.
Step 3:
In this step, we have to use multimedia
format to present creative multimedia with cup and saucers. We can use the method of critical thinking such as random words, logical mind map and juxtaposition. Each groups have 5 min to present our work.
Here you go, from our extend essay, we try to make our video looks like heave and hell concept.
All the sketches
Beside that, our group had face a big problem, all of us don't know how to edit a video. Luckily one of our groupmate James, he knows how to edit a video. We separate into 3 person to draw the heaven part and another 3 person to draw the hell part. In 12 hours time, we manage to finish our first video. It is not easy as we thought to do out a video. That is many process to edit a video, have to find a song to cut and edit it. Afterwards have to look at our drawing to match with the music, seriously it is not easy all.A very special thanks to my groupmate, they are Jesspi, Jennie, Silver, Jess and James.
