Book Trailers: From PowerPoint to iPad Apps By Alison McMahan, award-winning screenwriter, author, and filmmaker.
Book
trailers are great marketing tools and a fabulous addition to your
book’s webpage. Trailers spark discussions about your topic and draw
readers to your site. Book trailers can be expensive, but a short,
simply designed book trailer is not hard to make, using the resources
most writers already have. We will start with some guidelines for a good
trailer concept. If you are daring, bring a synopsis (no more than 250
words) of your book and I’ll use one from the group to do a sample book
trailer script. Then we will go through the basics of finding free
music and images and creating a powerpoint-slide show book trailer
(there will be a webpage with a list of resources). For the more
cinematically ambitious we will look at ways to make a live-action movie
with an iPad, and how to use stop-motion, animation, and other effects
with easy-to-find apps.
