For the last stage of our Book Trailer project, it's time to edit your trailer. Keep these things in mind:
- Watch your whole trailer full screen to make sure you're seeing what the audience will see.
- Are the clips trimmed to the right place, showing what you expect?
- Is the audio audible?
- Could a person who's never read the book understand what's happening?
While the Editors edit, the Director and Marketing Director are making a poster for your book! Choose from the SMALL poster templates in Pages and start designing. Here's a not so great example.
Ways to make your poster better than this:
- Use images that are big enough that you don't need to stretch them out and have them be pixelated.
- Show more effort by having more than just the book cover.
- Give your poster a unified theme, using just a few colors or designs that work for your book.
- Be
super creative! Take your own pictures, use screenshots from your
trailer, images from the web, and make up any text you want!
