Multimedia Poetry

Multimedia is a simple way of showing poetry. It is well known and used worldwide as anyone can do it. All that you need to do is write your own poem, type it into a video, add music and them imagery. Simple yes, but it doesn't mean that will create a good video.

of cours the quality and format of a poem is always up to the writer. only the writer can decide what does and does not go into a poem. However, the choice for the picture and music cannot be so widespread.

as the viewers will be readng through out the video, thier mind will be fixed on the text and the text alone. for that reason, when choosing a song, it is best to pick one without lyrics. this will allow the audience to focus on the words you worked so hard on, while still having music that sets the required mood.

After the poem, the graphics behind the text is the most important. as most people write their text in white (so it stands out better) so it only stands to reason that what lays behind the words should not be the colour white. This goes for every other colour of text you choose.

As well as the colour of the picture, make sure there are no words already on it. This will create unwanted confusion for the viewers and may even ruin the poem you worked hard on.

If you follow these simple steps, you should end up with a piece of art.
