BEHAVIOURS
Use a graphic organiser (storyboard) to collect and organise your ideas.
Stay on task and don’t let blockers distract you.
Follow the library code of conduct.
Use the checklist to ensure you have done everything the teacher has asked.
The trailer should be 90 seconds to 3 minutes in length (no longer). It needs to be planned using a storyboard and edited using Movie
Maker.
Please save your trailer into the Collaboration folder using your name.
What would you nominate as the best book in our library?
Decide which book you would like to create your trailer about – you must have read this book in its entirety.
Planning Stage
ChecklistDigital book trailers are short videos that promote a book.
Their purpose is to motivate others to read the book.
Brainstorm the important parts of the story (you may need to re-read sections or go online and research it).Save your brainstorm to your folder on the collaboration drive.
Add the name of your book to the Google doc (link on the blog) and see if anyone wants to do the same book as you – can you work collaboratively?
Weeks 2, 3 and 4
Drafting Stage
Use the storyboard template to plan each screen of your trailer. For each screen plan for the text and images that will be used.Keep a slide for your credits!
Ask a friend to help you proofread and edit your draft.
Presenting Stage
Locate or create each of the images you require (according to your storyboard) and save them in your folder on the collaboration drive.

Hook / Plot There is no hook OR plot is completely revealed, not allowing for suspense. Viewer does not need to read the book because the trailer told them the entire story.
Hook does not grab viewer’s attention OR more than one scene reveals too much of the plot, thus causing viewer to feel like they already know plot without having to read the book.
Hook grabs the attention of the viewer. One point of the plot is a little too revealing.
Hook grabs the attention of viewer and keeps it. Plot is revealed just enough to make viewer want to read the book.
Text Text does not relate to images / soundtrack, thus confusing the viewer.
