Project: Book Trailer
For each team of 3 people:
Pick a book that has NOT been made into a movie. Make a trailer for the book. Your goal is to make people want to read the book. So, make it interesting but don't give away the whole story! Remember to use visuals whenever possible. Keep the pace moving. Use sound accordingly. This will NOT be used for festival, so you can use resources found online. However, keep a list of reference and attach to your trailer on the credit screen (not part of the 30secs.) PLAN your shots before shooting. You can complete all work during class time. Show off your talent! We will be screening all trailers in class and will be doing peer assessment.
Duration: 30secs to 1 min video
