What is a Montage?
A montage is a collection of pictures or video clips that show the two of you from infancy to today. But there are a few key elements that can change your montage from a home-movie slide show to a dynamic presentation. A well done montage should give guests a window into your personalities and your lives. spacer.gif Picture selection: Selecting the right pictures to use in your montage can make all the difference in the world. If it is only a display of your school pictures from every year since kindergarten, it’s going to be kind of dull. Certainly a few of your favorite school pictures ought to be included, but you want to find some of your most colorful and exciting pictures. Look for photos showing you participating sports, hobbies or perhaps standing in front of a famous landmark, or overlooking a beautiful vista. Look for photos that show that you are an interesting person. Numbers of photos: A good montage will be balanced in the number of photos it shows.
A Montage is a short, finished production of photos, video clips, and other images set to music. It also has professional touches, including pre-set special effects, transitions, and editing features, that turn your standard photo slideshow into a moving video production. A Montage can be all photos, all video clips, or any combination of these. Take a look at some Montages created by our members.
