Introduction
Slides add realism to your presentation. Production
techniques vary, and can make for an interesting visual
presentation. Quality slide presentations take planning
and preparation. Slide presentations are like other visual
aids in sharing the stage with you, the presenter.
They don't replace the human element.
Features
• easy to carry and store
• allow you to use color and real life situations
• easy to rearrange for future presentations
• can magnify details
• can synchronize with audio tape for a professional
flow, and to free the presenter
• suitable for any size of audience
Limitations
• needs electricity
• normally calls for darkened room
• speaker may block the screen by pointing out details
• lacks flexibility during presentation
" The First Step In Taking Good Pictures Is To
Hold Your Camera Firmly"
Producing slides
Hold your camera steady! That's the first step in
taking good pictures.
• A good slide is not an accident. Before you snap,
know how you'll use a picture and what you want it to
communicate.
• Keep the picture simple and get as close as you can
to your subject.
• The human eye moves towards a photo's lightest
area. Try to keep good lighting on your centre of
interest.
• Your centre of interest needn't be in the centre of
your picture. Try mentally dividing your camera view-finder
into thirds; compose your picture so the centre
of interest falls at the intersection of two lines.
r r
• You can easily make slides from magazine pictures
or photographs, with permission.
• If you show text, limit yourself to 25 characters
( including spaces) on each line, and six lines on each
slide.
• Slides are mounted in frames of several kinds:
c a r d b o a r d — inexpensive, easy to mark with felt
pen, easy to bend, film may buckle if you project a
slide for too many minutes.
p l a s t i c — rigid, don't bend, easy to mount, more
difficult to mark, film may shift in frame,
glass — maximum protection, heavy, expensive,
may break if dropped, may not fit some slide trays,
prevents buckling and loss of focus.
Selecting slides
• Choose only the best slide available. If the picture
isn't clear or doesn't help you tell your story, don't use
it.
• Take full advantage of color and contrast. For example,
try a simple graph superimposed on a natural
background.
• Sources of slides include: personal collections, film
libraries, department collections of stock slides,
commercial graphics producers.
• Decide on your format: horizontal, vertical or a mixture.
It will affect screen size and projected image
size. Use horizontal format normally; people are used
to viewing information horizontally, and are less likely
