Here are the top five things you can do to create an amazing slide show for any occasion.
1. Choose the right photos
Using quality photos will make it easier to create an amazing looking slide show. Avoid photos where the subject is far away, pick close ups instead. Avoid using photos that are cut into shapes, they don't work well in slide shows. Pick photos with good color not photos that are washed out or discolored. Pick photos that will get a laugher that will evoke emotion.
2. Choose the right music
Choose the music to set the mood you desire for the slide show. If you want to make people laugh choose an upbeat, fun song. If you are looking for a more serious slide show or are looking to evoke emotions choose a slower song. Use a combination of both upbeat and slower songs to bring laughter and tears to your audience.
3. Know your audience
Think about who you are going to show this slide show to. If you are going to be showing it to a large audience try to keep it under 15 minutes. People lose interest if your slide show is too long. If you have a lot of pictures and want a longer slide show think about making two different versions, one as a keepsake for you and one to show to your audience. As a general guide you can usually show about 10 photos per minute. It may be more for a more upbeat fast paced slide show and less for a slower slide show.
4. Pick good software if you are creating your own slide show
There are lots of great software programs out there to create slide shows. Pick the one that is right for your needs. A good software should be easy to use and intuitive and offer lots of features. Look for slide show programs on Google to find the slide show creator that is right for you.
5. Pick a good Company to create your slide show if you can't do it on your own
Make sure to look for a reputable company to create your slide show. Choose a company that does not produce cookie cutter slide shows. Companies should time each one of your photos individually to set them to the music you have chosen. Some companies use an automated program to create your slide show and you will end up with slide show that is not original.
Using the steps above you can create a slide show that you will be proud to show off to all your friends and family at your special occasion.
