Essay about FCM
Firstly, We want to discuss about the majoring in FCM. There are five major. First, Interface Design; this major provides an exploration, redefinition and experimentation of the interaction and the interface between humans and the information and communication technologies (ICT). Second, Media Innovation; this major emphasizes the creation of advertising driven content through innovative multimedia applications. Third, Film and Animation; this major integrates film making concepts with animation skills and 3D animation and video technology. Fourth, Virtual Reality; this major focuses on the study of the development process of interactive virtual reality applications, focusing on education and entertainment, using real-time computer graphics and immersed multimedia technologies. And last is Digital Media; this major emphasizes the creation of information driven content in the digital technology realm. The student needs a specific GPA to enter one of the major that they want. If the student cannot reach the standard GPA, the faculty will direct the student to the other major. It can give inspiration for student to be enthusiastic in education, so they can reach a good mark in GPA.
Secondly, we discuss about the placement. In FCM, there are four placements. Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Delta. In Alpha or also we can said foundation, 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. In Beta, students get more specific lesson and it depend with the major that want to accept them. In Gamma, we get higher placement than Beta and in this placement, we get internship program. This program is to make student adapt with work environment. Last, in Delta, we must prepare for Final Year Project (FYP). This project really important because from this we can know and choose a good job and also this project is requirement if we want pass and graduate from this university.
Third, is about student around FCM. There are 2 type of student in FCM, local and international. We find that the local students are in 3 races, which are Indian, Chinese and Malay. And for the International, they come from many cities, which are from Indonesia, Arab, Iran, Africa, Kazakhstan and many more. The local student lives in a very good communication among each other. They attempt to be friendly and funny but some of them are really moody. In other hand the international student has many behavior and personality, some of them are aggressive some of them are acting cool and trying to be modern some of them are crazy and really creative in many ways. Sometimes the local student and International student have a miscommunication and mostly because language. Beside that, there’s a gap between local and international student. For solve this problem, the faculty make an ice breaking event, like; every major presenting a trip or activities to associate international and local student.
Fourth, is about facilities in FCM. The facilities in FCM sometimes not support student to be creative. For example, some of the computer in lab didn’t work very well, because PC’s internal errors and viruses. But for this problem the faculty always attempt improve the PC’s performance and maintenance. For example, now the FCM make a lab that contains Mac pro for support post production laboratory. And for support student to present their artworks in public, the FCM makes e-gallery.
As a conclusion, The Faculty of Multimedia was the first faculty to offer Bachelors (Hons) Degree in multimedia and multimedia design. Because of that, being a pioneer comes with certain risks. It involves vision, courage and persistence to forge ahead and succeed in an uncharted territory. The FCM always wanted make a good design and quality of work rest in our perception of intention, purpose and plan. Although all plan didn’t works very well, the FCM always make the best effort for their student. The faculty will direct to other major if the student can’t reach a good mark GPA for what major their chosen. The faculty guide student for adaption with work environment when they are internship program in gamma level. For associate international and local student, the faculty makes an activity for ice breaking. And the last the faculty try as they could to improvement their facilities for support student to be more creative.
