🎬 Book Trailer Project Guideline

A book trailer is like a movie trailer — but for a book! It’s a short
video (1–3 minutes) that uses images, text, music, and voice to:

 Introduce the story (without spoiling the ending)


 Capture the mood or theme
 Persuade others to read the book

🧠 2. Planning the Trailer

Step 1: Choose Your Focus

Decide what aspect of the book you want to highlight:

 The main conflict or mystery


 The main character’s journey
 The setting or atmosphere
 The theme (e.g., friendship, courage, freedom, identity)

Step 2: Create a Script

Before filming, write a short script or storyboard:

 Opening: Hook the viewer (a dramatic line, quote, or question)


 Middle: Introduce the main character(s) and the problem
 Ending: Create suspense or curiosity — don’t spoil the ending!
 Include key quotes or taglines (e.g., “What would you do if…?”)
🪶 Language tip:
Use present tense and descriptive adjectives to make it exciting.
Example: “In a world where nothing is certain, one girl dares to fight
back.”

author.

plot.
