How to Make a Book Trailer
1. Think about what you want to say about your book to get others interested in reading it without giving too much away, and write up a script. Then divide your script into parts to form a storyboard. Here’s my script as a sample:
|
Meet Jeremy, an ordinary
boy, almost 13 years old.
|
Well, almost ordinary, a bit quirky; he eats
peanut butter sandwiches at every meal,
and he has a mutant candy collection.
|
But Jeremy's life is about to
change- to become an amazing
adventure when he
|
|
receives a mysterious locked box
withfour different key holes and
no keys.
|
Engraved on the box are the words:
The Meaning of Life
For Jeremy Fink to Open on his 13th Birthday
|
But how can he open the box
without the keys?
|
|
Join Jeremy and his best friend
Lizzy as they begin a remarkable
journey to find the keys and
uncover the meaning of life.

2. Think about the images you want to use to make your storyboard come to life. You can use clip art images, or even better draw your own illustrations and scan them. (I ended up using the locked, engraved box - zooming in slowly - for all three of the cells in the second row of the story board.)
3. Use Photo Story 3 to put your images, narration, and music together as a story.
