Multimedia elements consist of text, graphics, animation, sound and video element. These five elements are important to play a part in a production of military training simulations in one way or another.

Text provides the detailed information to the players as such which can be seen on the instructions to play the game, the menus, the status of the player and the location. It is the basic communication in a written form to guide the players through the simulation. It works as a story which unfolds where players advanced to a higher stage expecting more out from the training simulation.

Graphics on the other hand consists of unique visuals which attracts the players immediately. As the saying goes, a picture paints a thousand words. It gives the player the feel and reality into playing the military simulation portraying real life situation in the combat zone. The interactive design allows players to have a virtual personalized communication with visuals attractive player’s eye. The play of colors livens up what may seem a combat zone in nature to a sophisticated visualized look in the training simulation.

Animation with interactive visuals allows players to control what and when the elements are being delivered. It allows players to personalize everything they wish to equip and go on the combat zone with a brave heart awaiting the enemies ahead with a prepared body physically and mind mentally.

Sound completes the package of military simulation with the action packed sound such as tankers, guns, grenade explosion and of course the commander’s fierce voice to put those players in discipline. Sounds play a part on narration of the story or character and the amazing sound effects.

Video shows a snapshot and it acts as a montage to the preview of the training simulation. It forms the trailer of the introduction of the game giving it a sypnosis or a wide view of how the militant training stimulant is like.

Overall all these elements are as important in the production process as it gives a cutting edge and enable players to experience reality combat zone.
