You MUST create a separate folder for this project - you will save your images, sound files, and project in this folder.
Whatever you do: Make certain the pictures are 640 x 480 jpg or bigger.
Save them into THE folder you created for this project.

Creating a Book Trailer
A Step by Step Guide
Finalize your trailer
Make a Folder
How to get started:
Find Your Pictures
1. Explore book trailers on-line = look and see what is out there already to get inspiration/ideas.
2. Use the template provided in OneNote to create a storyboard/outline/blueprint for your trailer.
Now you are ready to create your trailer...
Rules:
You can draw and scan your own pictures.
You can take own digital images.
You can find your images online.
- Only 10% of your trailer can be images/video from a movie. This translates into 6 seconds for a 1 minute trailer.
- Use only music that is legally permissible - also called "royalty free"
- incompetech.com
- 60 seconds is the bulls eye - a little less or a little more is fine
- All content of your trailer MUST be school appropriate.
Your Mission:
Find Your Music
Convince others that this is THE book to read.
Create a fully animated trailer that works without your interaction.
Align the tone/mood of your trailer directly with the tone/mood of your novel.
Make the theme/plot (if applicable) of your novel blatantly obvious for the viewer.
Goal: 60 second-ish trailer
Make your book sound interesting.
Carefully edit for pacing: make certain that the length for images/videos enhances the overall trailer.
Carefully edit colors/text/images to align with the tone/mood your are trying to develop.
Consider the format of your trailer carefully - often a focus on plot will work well with a fiction work, but not so well with a non-fiction text (in this case a focus on theme(s) may be more effective).
Use "royalty free" music.
Music without words works best
