Graduation is an exciting milestone in a young person's life. Show your graduate how much you care by creating a photo slide show celebrating their special day. Be sure and snap lots of photos at the ceremony and read the article below to learn how to create an unforgettable graduation slide show that will last a lifetime.
- An Introduction
Think about how you want to begin your slide show. Taking close-up shots of program guides and the grad's name printed in the guide can serve as a great establishing image for the rest of the slide show. Photos of the graduation cap and other symbolic memorabilia work great too.
- Getting the Right Shot
There are 3 major components to a graduation: the processional, the ceremony/issuing of the diploma, and the post-graduation photos, usually taken immediately after the ceremony. Try to capture a few good shots of each major point of the event to give your slide show a more well-rounded, evenly documented feel.
- Capture and Incorporate Video
Consider capturing a short video clip of the graduate as he/she receives the diploma. Video can add additional visual interest to your slide show. With ProShow you can mix both video and still photos in your slide shows. There's even a built-in video trimmer so you can crop and edit your video clips.
- Customize with School Colors
Incorporate the school's colors into the slide show you are creating for the graduate. With ProShow Gold you can easily create custom background colors for slides, use specific colors for captions and more.
- Set the Mood with Music
Choose the perfect song to accompany your Graduation slide show. With ProShow Gold you can easily sync your music and photos, crop an audio track and add custom fades to any song.
- Photo Borders and Backgrounds
Framing your photos and using special slide backgrounds can make a your photos really stand out. Use your own content or check out the newly-released Students & Grads MediaSource collection which features hundreds of youth-oriented backgrounds, photo borders, menus and more.
- Create Movement
Graduation ceremonies are crowded and you'll most likely end up with many photos of the large crowd of students waiting to graduate. Use a motion effect to slowly zoom into a point of interest in your photo, namely the graduate. With ProShow Gold you can easily add a pan, zoom or rotate to any photo.
- Create a Custom Menu for Your Show
Add a custom menu to your slide show. The menu will be displayed before your slide show and allows you to choose when to start the show. Create your own menus in ProShow Gold or take a look at the selection that comes with our Students & Grads MediaSource title. You can also download free Graduation themed menus directly from ProShow.
- Make a Copy for Everyone
With ProShow Gold you can easily output directly to DVD to watch a show in the living room, CD for PC playback, the Web for viewing online or choose to playback on one of dozens of portable devices including the iPod, Blackberry and iPhone. Burn a disc for each family member or upload the slide show to a high school seniors' iPod.
- Packaging Your Presentation
Make sure you package your presentation with care. If you are creating a DVD, don't just place the DVD in a plastic jewel case, consider packaging it in a leather DVD folio which can easily be purchased online and customized for your graduate.
