Making a Book Trailer: the process

By Sarah Porch, Serena Neary, Lindsey Peach and Marlene De Vogel

We began by discussing the different books that we would enjoy making a trailer for.

Little Red Riding Hood

Room on the BroomWe’re Going on a Bear Hunt

Owl Babies

GUESS HOW MUCH I LOVE YOUThe Gruffalo

TABBY MCTAT

The Very Hungry Caterpillar

After much deliberation we decided to complete our book trailer on…

We mind mapped our ideas

Then created a story board

We discussed how the use of music could add feeling to our trailer

Magical/fairy tale

Upbeat/happy

Creepy Shocked/surprised/suspense

Nature sounds

Dramatic Dramatic

Door creaking Ending fairy tale

We spoke about the props that we would need

We discussed the equipment we would need for filming

iPad iMovieUsing the iMove app.

Camera

iMovieWe had never used this iPad app before, so the first thing we did was explore it’s features and how it operates.

Having explored the app we realised that we needed more guidance to understand the features.

www.youtube.comWe referred to Youtube and watched a tutorial explaining how to use the app.

We then felt much more confident using the app and decided to set about making the trailer.
