Happy Spring!
I want to tell you a little bit about book trailers. These videos are becoming more and more popular in schools and classrooms. Book trailers are a fun way to get students excited about books! Essentially, a book trailer is very similar to a movie trailer. These videos give viewers a quick look into what a book is about, without giving away any spoilers. Book trailers are meant to advertise books in a way that will make the viewers want to read the book after watching the trailer. If you would like to watch a few examples, click here. When making book trailers, you may use a variety of medias to create. A few of my favorite resources to make these videos are Animoto, WeVideo, and iMovie. To use Animoto, you must create an account. You may purchase a subscription if you really like this resource, however, you can also create videos with a free trial. With a free trial of Animoto, certain aspects of the resource are limited. Of the three resources that I have listed, I think Animoto is the easiest to use and the most user friendly. WeVideo is different from Animoto in that you have a lot more freedom in how you want to make your video. WeVideo is also a resource in which you may purchase a subscription, but free trials are available with limited features. The last resource that I mentioned, iMovie, is only available with iOS and macOS. This application is easy for students to use with iPads and is very similar to WeVideo. Enjoy!
