Tell a Compelling Story
Don’t try to retell the entire script. Your goal should be to tell enough of the story to get the gist and gain interest.
Ensure A Smooth Flow
Think about how the deck flows from beginning to end. Read it out loud to understand how it will read to others.
Use Quality Imagery
Use good quality imagery. Search for high-resolution images and utilize quality stock websites
Visual Storytelling
Use every element to visually tell your story. Choose images, colors, and fonts that complement the aesthetic of your film.
Keep It Simple
Don't over-design. Stay away from busy design elements so that your imagery and words stay the hero.
Highlight Unique Elements
