Construction of a Slideshow
by Aaron Hockley
I’ve begun putting together my presentation for a slideshow being hosted by a friend next month.
For me, putting together a show is usually a frustrating process. I think I’m too much of a perfectionist with my shows, always trying to find the “perfect” music to complement the subject and mood. I’m considering doing a hybrid music/narration show, with pre-recorded narration corresponding to parts of the show.
So far, I’ve narrowed it down to which photos I want to show. I have no idea on the music. The general theme is the Alaska Railroad… I had one song picked out but it’s being used by another presenter. Time for Plan B. I wish I knew what Plan B was.
I think Plan B is going to be a pre-recorded narration as I share a bit of history and give a brief tour through the Anchorage shops, then move onto a music background for the scenery shots. We’ll see…
