Extension Activity One-Day Certificate Program on Applied Multimedia Skills

The Department of Multimedia, GEMS Arts and Science College (Autonomous), organized a One-Day Certificate Program on Applied Multimedia Skills as an extension activity aimed at empowering Plus Two students of Kerala by providing exposure to professional multimedia education and career opportunities beyond the regular curriculum.

The primary objective of the extension activity was to bridge the gap between school-level education and industry-oriented multimedia practices. The program focused on introducing students to creative domains such as script development, photography, videography, graphic designing, video editing, AR & VR technologies, and audio-visual production.

The activity began with interactive workshops on Basics of Script Development and Photography & Videography, enabling students to understand storytelling, visual composition, and camera handling. This was followed by sessions on Graphic Designing and Video Editing, where participants were introduced to industry-standard tools and workflows.

As part of experiential learning, students were taken on a departmental tour, which included visits to the Video Studio, Dubbing Studio, AR & VR Lab, and Audio Visual Theatre. This hands-on exposure helped participants gain real-time insight into professional multimedia environments and production processes.

Competitions were conducted to encourage creativity and active participation among students. Winners were recognized during the closing ceremony, and certificates of participation were distributed to all 59 participants. Lunch and learning materials were provided as part of the extension initiative. 

The extension activity successfully created awareness about multimedia education, creative careers, and emerging technologies. It also strengthened the institution’s outreach efforts by engaging school students and motivating them to pursue higher studies and skill development in the field of multimedia.
