Would you rather make great slideshows than those that induce sleep? Here are some tips to follow.
• Edit. Your audience doesn’t want
to see every photo you took on your trip! Remove bad shots, all
duplicates and close duplicates, then edit down to the important and
most attractive images.
• Arrange. Look for ways to arrange
your photos that are audience-attractive. Search for themes and stories
that come from combinations of photos.
• Add music. Music always adds a
professional touch. Be careful about using copyrighted music. Try
something like Smart Sound’s software for creating music that doesn’t
have that issue (www.smartsound.com).
• Narrate carefully. Whether doing narration live or as an audio track for your slideshow, plan what you’re going to say.
• Choose transitions thoughtfully. If you use too many of these
seductive transitions or use them too often, your show will look like a
late-night car dealer ad. A good, all-purpose transition is to use a
dissolve between photos.
