Task: You are a publisher hoping to promote your book through social media and specifically a video on YouTube. Using your Chromebook or other device, create a 1-2 minute trailer for your book that will persuade viewers to seek out your novel and read it.
Consider how much information viewers will need regarding plot, characters, and themes to get them excited about reading the book.
Also think about how music, images, voiceover, and video can make for an exciting and engaging product.
Each person individually in your group is responsible for making their own different and unique video. Trailers will be judged by your classmates and we'll present a "Best Trailer Award" (almost as prestigious as an Oscar!) to the winners.
Use the videos below as a starting place, but be creative and use your own spin to make your product stand out.
You are free to utilize whatever technology you like to produce your video, but from past students we've noted that Adobe Spark videos and iMovie videos tend to turn out looking the most professional.
When using images and music that are copyrighted, keep in mind that you are responsible for fair use in education. Cite your source for images and music that are copyright protected at the end of your video in the credits. You are limited to 30 seconds of music if using a copyrighted song.
In addition, there are many sites that offer pictures, sound, and video for free usage that aren't copyright protected:
