| When choosing photos please remember... Choose Quality Photographs Please remember that if a photo is out of focus it will also appear out of focus on your TV. Choose clear, well lit photos. Choose a Variety of Photographs Variety is important when choosing your photos. Remember to consider candid shots and not just the ones where everyone is posed. Using a variety of photographs can keep your audiences interest. Landscape or Portrait Landscape pictures fill the TV screen while there will typically be a black border that appears around the photograph that is in portrait mode. Music Choose music that has meaning to you. The music that you select will set the mood of your video so keep this in mind. Most programs have 2 to 3 songs to provide entertainment and leave the audience wanting more. Each photo will display approximately 10 seconds so a good rule of thumb is about 6 to 8 photos for every minute of music. Due to copyright laws, only store bought CDs will be accepted for use in your video. We can purchase music in your behalf. Length of Montage Usually video montages that last between 8 – 12 minutes in length are ideal for most occasions. This usually works out to about 3 songs and 75-100 pictures. You should always leave your audience wanting more. |
