Audiovisual media
The term audiovisual(AV, or A/V) may refer to works with both asoundand avisualcomponent, the
production or use of such works, or the equipment used to create and present such works.Slide-
tapepresentations,[1]
films,andtelevision programsare examples of audiovisual presentations, as are
most major church services and other live theater productions.
Business presentations are also often audiovisual. In a typical presentation, the presenter provides
the audio by speaking, and supplements it with a series of images projected onto a screen, either
from aslide projector,or from a computer connected to aprojectorusingpresentation software.
In the developed world, there has been a huge uptake of computer-based audiovisual equipment in
the education sector, with many schools and higher educational establishments installing projection
equipment and often using interactive whiteboard technology.
Why Is Audiovisual Media Considered a Powerful Tool andMeans of Communication?
When attempting to relay a message or idea, it's usually easier and more effective to do so face-to-face than on
paper or via email. That's because written or audio communication alone has certain limitations that could
muddle your message or result in misunderstanding. Audiovisual communication breaks down the traditional
barriers of written communication to ensure that your audience understands the message easily, resulting in
better discussion and collaboration in business, education and personal applications.
Clarity
One of the main benefits of audiovisual media for communication is clarity. When you send an email or write a
letter, you know the type of tone and mood used in the letter, but it could come across differently to the receiver.
Audiovisual input enables both parties to observe facial expressions and gesture, hear tones and inflections in
the voice and use both audio and visual cues to clarify each other's meanings and positions.
Speed
Just 100 years ago, communication through written or word-of-mouth correspondence often took weeks and
months. In comparison, today's communication is immediate, with the use of audiovisual media such as video
phones, webcams and face-to-face meetings.
Retention
Audio and visual cues, when combined, increase message retention. According to the United States Department
of Labor, a mere 10 percent of information is retained when presented only orally and only 35 percent of
information is retained when presented only visually. But when audio and visual tools are combined to present a
message or idea, 65 percent of that information is retained. Presentation software and video conferencing can be
effective tools in meetings and lectures because your audience receives and processes the information more
effectively than it would with more traditional approaches.
Media
By adding videos, visual aids and sound clips to your presentation, you create a multimedia experience. This
helps your communication become more engaging to the audience using a variety of media, from mp3s to videofootage to still-image slideshows and online social media.
