Graduation Slideshow Ideas
How to Make a Cool Show for the Big Day
Graduation is always an honor; it’s a moment to realize that you’ve made a big achievement in your life. School is a wonderful time when you had a lot of fun, and tons of photos depicting those lovely moments are surely kept in your archives.
Why not create a gorgeous graduation slideshow with the best photos taken throughout the study? It won’t be just a pack of images – add some bells and whistles to make it more of an event with SmartSHOW - a cool slideshow maker available here.
Share Your Special Moments
Think about your school or college days for a moment – what did you like the most? Interesting courses, subjects, your classmates, projects you were working on, sport activities – there must be something that has a special meaning to you. Look through your photo albums, scan your hard drives’ folders, and try to create the slideshow plot. Another thing to consider is what is going to happen with your slideshow: will it be a gift to a schoolmate or a teacher, a presentation on the graduation ceremony, or maybe a slideshow for friends and family?
Chronology is the Key
There are different ways to organize your graduation slideshow, and the most popular one is to arrange the images in chronological order. The beginning is up to you, you can start with the year of birth, pre-school or 1st grade. Then, sort the photos by each year of school, or maybe by different activities or clubs you participated in. Ask your friends and classmates for some photos – you may find some good ones to include into your slideshow!
Graduation Slideshow Songs
It’s no secret that music plays a major role in any slideshow. Think for a moment, for sure there are some special songs you enjoyed at school or tunes that all your classmates liked.
Try different kinds of music for certain sections of your graduation slideshow. For example, the sports or some intense activity section requires an upbeat track, something fast-paced and a bit of rock aggression works pretty well here. On the other hand, a comedic section aligns great with an ironic song that will evoke some good laughs at the graduation party.
Anyway, here’s a short list of the most proven and suitable songs that fit into any graduation slideshow:
- Carrie Underwood - "Whenever You Remember"
- The Beach Boys - "Graduation Day"
- Celine Dion - "These Are the Special Times"
- Nickelback - "Photograph"
- Foo Fighters - "Times Like These"
- Sarah McLachlan - "I Will Remember You"
- Green Day - "Good Riddance"
