Book Trailer Project Guide

Book Trailer Project Checklist
1. Decide what the message of your book trailer is going to be.
·         Your trailer CANNOT just be a summary.
·         What is the importance of the book?
·         What is the theme and how can that be the focus of your book trailer?

2. Decide how to best convey your message to your audience

3. Select any quotes you want to use from the novel.

4. Create a storyboard. (Must do this and turn it in.) There are three choices to choose from.

5. Collect images and edit them if needed and allowed.
·         SAFE SEARCH IS NOT THE SAME AS SEARCHING FOR FREE TO USE IMAGES.
·         Use Creative Commons OR use the advanced search on google and choose “free to use or share.”
·         Not doing this will result in a reduced grade.
·         When saving images, make sure to title the pictures with the photographer’s name, plus the title of the image as it is on the internet. This will help you make your credits page.
6. Write a script. (This will also be turned in.)

7. Take video or use the images to create the visual part of your book trailer.

8. Record the script and put in the music. Make sure to edit both of these.


9. EDIT, EDIT, REVISE, REVISE, REVISE!
