Faculty creative multimedia is the best faculty in MMU, MMU is different in other university because they have FCM. FCM  offer a unique and different set of syllabus, in fact, from our point of view, FCM student’s really stands out from the rest of the student in Multimedia University. Why you might ask? Because FCM is the only faculty in Multimedia University that require it is student to be creative, so thats why the name Faculty of Creative Multimedia. In this university they want student in FCM to be creative to create something that very different in world. FCM offers a wide range of major, such as Film & Animation, Media Innovation, Virtual Reality, Interface Design, and Digital Media. All of these Majors is requires its student to have a taste in art, which makes FCM a bit similar to Art School, but in FCM, we concentrate more on how to make art in this modern world, because art is everywhere, in your television, on the internet, magazines, and many other examples. Going through FCM really gives a lot of experience, and not only from the faculty, but also from the surrounding environment, you will learn a lot of things by going through FCM, for example, you will change your browsing routine from Facebook, Myspace, and other social networking site to let’s say, deviant art, the Flash website award, Ads of the world, and that’s only your browsing routine, imagine what it could do to your life.

Experience is the best thing in our life. It can teach us everything and actually it is the best lesson we can get in our life. In creative multimedia there are a lot of experiences that we can get from around it. From primary school, high school, university, work and home, even in our individual time. For example, a design student he will get his own experience in his learning process. At that moment he will learn how to make something good from only a simple thing or make something useful from recycle things. They will get experience how to make something that can attract people to look at their artworks. They trained how to make good compositions, colour balance, simple, nice, not much, and can attract people to see it. The design must everthing as simple as their can. Usually the design’s lecturers will give lots of assignments to make their student getting used to it and make each day their students getting better on doing their works. Experience can make the big impact for somebody even into the world. It can change our life. For the example like following some contest, some people does not care whether they won or lose it, the important thing is they get the experience. Study and work are also the way to get new experiences and the most important things from all of that is the invention of new things or we can call it innovation. We can get a lot of experience from work. In this circle we will feel the real situation how the designer works. There are a lot of experiences that we can get. In cinematography we can be a director who makes a story of the film, or being a design graphic who designing something that can attract people and many more of example that we can get from work’s circle.

tool also playing as important part in experience. We using the tool from the primary school when we do art until in works. In primary school we learn how to use the tool and also learn how to draw because at the primary school we learn art that called pendidikan seni. After that in school we learn the tool again but at the high school we learn how to master using it. Then in university we just used it until we do in works. Many tool that are use in doing art. The tool also every year increase and the software also has been upgrade to become as simple and easy to use. Such as adobe photoshop , adobe illustrator , photomatix pro and the other software that come from many company to editing picture and others.

In a nutshell, with our creativity towards multimedia from time to time, we will find and get more experience while studying in MMU. Creativity is not the one that we can create without someone that has a big experience. That is why Multimedia University make a unique course which is Creative Multimedia. Other than that, nowadays we have many sources such as internet. We can find a lot of things in internet. From internet, we can build our knowledge on creativity by see a lot thing from internet. Last but not least, the world cannot be change in the future without a course like Creative Multimedia. The technology also cannot be upgrade without a creative people like in MMU.

How to use it

1. Find a random word

Find a random word that will be used as a stimulus for new ideas. You can do this in a number of ways, including:

• Look around you. What can you see? Can you see any words? What about things? What else is happening?
• Open a book at a random page. Run your finger around the page and stop at a random point. Look for a suitable word near your finger.
• Ask the people you are with to give you a random word.
• Select a word from a prepared list of evocative words (fire, child, brick, sausage, etc.)

Good random words are (a) evocative and (b) nothing to do with the problem being considered. Ambiguity also helps. Nouns are usually best, but verbs and adjectives can also be used effectively.

2. Find associations

Think about other things about which the word reminds you. Follow associations to see where they go. Think openly: associations can be vague and tenuous (this is creativity, not an exam!).

When working with a group of people, you can write these down on a flipchart as people call them out. It can be useful (but not necessary) to leave a space after each associate for use in stage 3.

3. Use the associations to create new ideas

Now create new ideas by linking any of the associations with your problem. Again, the linkage can be as vague as you like: what you want is ideas!

Write the ideas either next to their associations from step 2 or on a separate page.

If other people give ideas that trigger further ideas from you, then you can go off down that route to see where it goes.

As a variant, you can do stages 2 and 3 together, finding an association and an immediate idea from this.

Example

I am seeking a way to reduce discomfort for passengers on trains.

With a group of passengers, we look out of the window and see a school.

Associations from school are learning, bullying, exams, playtime.

Ideas include teaching the rail company how uncomfortable the seats are, taking a firm stance in this, giving marks for different trains and seats and having games on trains so passengers do not notice the uncomfortable seats.

How it works

Random Words works in particular by making you go elsewhere for ideas, and hence pushes you out of your current thinking rut. It uses the principle of forced association to make you think in new ways and create very different ideas.

Exercise

for this exercise we have to create a scary image or object that will instill dear among people through out the age. the random words is kitten. It has to be simple and easy to understand or to deliver something that people not easily to get confused.

Juxtaposition

- Juxtaposition means contrast or similarity are shown through comparison. Many creative processes rely on juxtaposition. By juxtaposing two objects or words next to each other, human brain will automatically associate or transfer meaning. Usually ‘turning’ something familiar to something less familiar or vice-versa.


for this exercise we have to choose the no from 0 to 99.i choose number 23,29,27.after that we have to choose it a pair example no 2 and 3,2 and 9,2 and 7.so i have 23:lighning and wind,29:lightning and rain,27:lightning and tree.then we have to make a simple sentence according to the pair.then we have to sketch using sentence that we make..so that is exercise that i have do at the class..

last exercise we have to do is we have to sketch two animal combined and make it possible to live.i choose cat and fish.because cat and fish when we combine they cannot live because cat cannot live in the water then fish cannot live without the water.so after they combine the cannot survive.

this exercise we have to create a poem that decribe the concept of love from title have been given.
