Mr. Peel's PowerPoint Tips:
1. Summarize information in your own words.
2. Use the default SIZE font whenever possible.
3. Don't try to put too much info. on each slide - simply use more
slides.
4. Choose a font color that doesn't fade into your background colors.
5. YOU GOTTA' HAVE FUN! BE CREATIVE, BE CREATIVE, BE CREATIVE!
6. Animated Gif's add interest and are really cool, however, more than one or
two per slide can be distracting.
7. The typewriter sound slows down the presentation and quickly becomes
annoying. Songs & Sounds should fit your presentation.
8. WATCH YOUR MARGINS! Different projectors and screens cut off varying amounts
toward the edge of your slide.
9. Save sounds and imported videos to the same disk as your PowerPoint
presentation and then Insert them again and save. Otherwise, they won't play on
other computers.
10. Be CREATIVE! (First - TEXT, Second - IMAGES, Finally - remember to run SPELL
CHECK on each slide.)
Mr. Peel's "I did all this work and now it won't work" Video
Clip Tips:
1. Not all versions of Windows Movie Maker
are created equal ! Check that the version you use to create the clip
matches the version that is on the computer that you will use to present your
project.
2. Videos imported into one version of PowerPoint may not play on
the version of PowerPoint that is on the computer that you will use to present
your project. CHECK FIRST! (As President Ronald Reagan used to say,
"Trust but Verify.")
3. Some versions of Windows Media Player will play QuickTime
movies and some won't. Check First! (Don't you just love
Microsoft?)
4. SIZING VIDEO CLIPS - Too Small and you can't see the action on the screen,
Too Large and they become pixilated (grainy boxes). Try to find the "best
fit" compromise.
5. Video Clips take up a lot of space. Save your work to a zip disk, memory
stick, or other storage. (A floppy is too small.) Make backup copies on the hard
drive.
Mr. Peel's Filming Tips:
1. Still scenes - about 8 seconds is max. - (and
eight seconds could still be way too long!)
2. Pans and zooms - add interest - but too many become distracting.
3. FOCUS!
4. BE CREATIVE! (You Gotta' Have Fun!)
5. BE PATIENT! Editing the video will take 8 to 10 times longer than it took to
film it. Budget your time!
