How to Make a Montage Wedding DVD

Montage is a film editing technique involving the editing and merging of series of short clips, condensing space, time and information. It usually depicts a transition in time making it perfect for special occasions such as wedding events. Although others may prefer hiring someone to make their wedding slideshow, both the husband and the wife should know that it is an opportunity for them, allowing more time to be spent together and build their relationship. Recently, more and more easy-to-use programs are made available for making audiovisual presentations.

The easiest way to make a wedding slideshow is through the use of PowerPoint. It is the most convenient way since simple instructions are indicated and arranged in a step by step manner. Photos during the wedding ceremony, videos and songs can be merged in a single presentation. The couple may work together in choosing what photos, videos and songs to include in the slideshow. This will give them ample time to bond and relive the cherished moments of their wedding day.

In using PowerPoint, it is recommended to use templates that will perfectly match the purpose of the slideshow. These PowerPoint templates are available and can be easily downloaded from the internet. The photos to be used in making the wedding montage should be of high quality so that after scanning these images, it will as well add up to the quality of the entire audiovisual presentation. It is also recommended to add wedding videos or other videos wherein the couple are together.

The couple’s theme song should also be included in the wedding slideshow, as well as other favorite songs of the husband and the wife. They can also choose music that has meaning to the both of them especially as a couple and songs that has lyrics which perfectly match the photos used. Slow music and fast beat music can elicit different feelings and emotions when played. Most popular songs played during wedding events include Shania Twain’s From this Moment On, When You Say Nothing at All by Ronan Keating, Nothing Compares To You by Sinead O’Connor and Elvis Presley’s I Can’t Help Falling in Love with You.

Detailed instructions regarding the use of PowerPoint in making slideshow can be checked from the internet. These are simple steps with terms easy to comprehend. After editing and merging all the photos, videos and music into one, it is time to make a DVD out of the slideshow created. This is the final touch in the making of a wedding montage. The slideshow will be burned into a DVD, to be able to view the entire presentation from the television with a DVD player, of course.  

PowerPoint presentations may be used during the wedding reception to entertain wedding guests or after the wedding ceremony to serve as keepsakes and remembrance for that special once in a lifetime event. Making a wedding montage is a perfect way to preserve the most beautiful moment in one’s life.
