Image Size Recommendations?

Janet, my new ds friend in western MA, had a great question about the best format for images:

"Someone wants me to help them with a ds, but the photos they have are either very small or way too big. How do I need them to be so that they will work if they want to show the story on a big screen? I assume if I make the film for that, i can just shrink it down for the web. Do I tell them resolution: 150 or do I tell them by pixel size or by KB or MB etc.."
