What is needed for a book trailer?

= Storyboarding = Storyboarding is a technique which was developed for use in film and animation. In film storyboards are developed before the movie starts filming and are used to help plan how each scene will look and what the important parts of the scene will be. Film and animation storyboards look very much like a comic strip. Storyboards will be used (in this lesson) to develop book trailers. Storyboards will be used to describe each scene of your book trailer.

Each page of your storyboard should include details of images, (url, credits) and the final text.

Pages Needed for student storyboards:

Title Page:


 * Title and Author of the book
 * Picture of the cover of the book, or an image that represents the overall story.
 * Creator of the book trailers name

Pages 1-3 (5)


 * Book trailers should convince readers to read the book. Students should be careful not to tell too much. No spoilers.
 * Each book trailer will have three to five descriptive pages (these pages describe the story). The 3-5 descriptive pages will make up the body of the book trailer (not including title and credits pages.)
 * Each page should describe the the story. You may choose to describe exciting or interesting events form the story, or describe the story overall.
 * Each page should have an image that represents what you are trying to tell the viewer (your text on that page) about the story.
 * Each book trailer should include a Mediaography.
