10 Tips for Bar Mitzvah Montage

When the word montgae comes into the air, we immediately think about the sentence “Power Point software” and think to ourselves
“How hard can this be?” We’ll arrange some pictures, stick them with some pretty rotating effect
And ok, look at the event …
As you can understand, such a montgae will not do the job at best and will just bore you off
Guests and family in the worst case.
If you want to prepare a bar mitzvah montage that will keep your guests in front of it all the time if you want a montage
Bar Mitzvah that everyone will admire and enjoy, here are some tips to help you organize and perhaps even edit alone.

The first decision should be – what will be the length of the presentation
So it’s true that we want to show as many pictures of the boy or girl and we are sure that each picture

It is amazing, the guests do not think so and so it is very important to focus. Bar Mitzvah Presentation Never
You will pass the 10 minutes and this in a few cases. The average presentation is 6-8 minutes long

When in many cases where you want to focus on only one subject, it is definitely possible to do so in 3-4 minutes.

 

 

10 Tips for Bar Mitzvah Montage

10 Tips for Bar Mitzvah Montage

 

What pictures and how much?

Once we have decided on the length of the montage, we can focus more on the amount of images. A rough calculation can be said
You have reviewed an incoming montage of 13-17 photos and it is already dependent on the montage rate.
Therefore, in a montage of 4 minutes, an average of 45 pictures will enter, and in a montage of 9 minutes 120 pictures. And again, that
Depending on the pace and effects you choose.

As for the pictures themselves, of course it is recommended to start with pictures of the celebrant in his early years (unless

We decide to focus on a different topic (and then we can proceed in two ways, the chronological order, according to the years)

Recommended, more boring) and order by interests. We will gather together the family pictures, a special hobby there is

Child, friends pictures, trips in Israel or abroad, etc.

 

Add texts?

Probably! Very desirable!

While we will not write next to each picture what it shows but at the beginning of each subject and some special pictures is desirable

Very much to introduce texts to give us background and perhaps even laugh. The bottom line is a bar mitzvah montage

A story, a story of the child who grew up to a boy, and every good story has pictures and a few words.

 

Background music

It is very important that the music be music that the child or child will love, but it is equally important not to disturb the audience

In the ears, when the audience is involved from different ages, it is worthwhile to go for the broadest common denominator, even if it is

Sometimes it sounds a bit kitschy.

Start with a quiet, moving and calm song, and then let the rhythm rise. Notice that many songs start

In a long musical section so you should cut them and not put a full song as it is. Of course we will not cut

In the middle of a word or sentence, and we will try as much as possible to match one song to another.

 

How do designers?

The question … How do I design a montage for a bar mitzvah, how do I make a montage for a bar mitzvah?

At the most basic level, of course, is Power Point, but we have already concluded that it does not look good.

Then there is the basic and simple editing software that almost every computer has a movie maker, too

You will not be able to bring out wonders from her.

If you want to edit alone, I recommend ProShow, which at its basic level costs about $ 70

Where you can already make beautiful montages with great effects and editing options.

If you want a professional Bar Mitzvah montage made with advanced software and special effects, I will be happy to assist you.

 

What about mid-videos?

If there are videos I highly recommend incorporating them in the montage, it breaks the sequence of images

And gives us another option to know the story of the celebrant. You have to note that we do not put passages

Too long. The boy is dancing? This is very nice, but in the Bar Mitzvah show we do not put on the whole show, 15 seconds

Can certainly do.

 

The bottom line

If you have time to invest and are willing to invest a little in quality software, I have no doubt that you will succeed

Make yourself a wonderful montage that will tell the story of the child best.

If you do not have time, our studio is available for you at any event (also for self-editing questions)

Lots of Mazal Tov and good luck.
