Book Trailers

Holocaust Documentary


Fateless Movie Trailer


In this activity we are going to analyze the trailer of the movie Fatelessness.
  • Do you think that the combination of the music, images and actors are trying to evoke feelings in the viewer ?
  • What kind of feelings are they?
  • Are this similar to what the book provoked in you?
  • Would you feel inspired to watch this movie after seeing this trailer?
My Book Trailer Project

Think of an idea to boost motivation in the audience to make them watch this movie.
• Plan your own video trailer focusing on the feelings that you want to raise in the viewers. Create a Story Board with the scenes you think you can include in your Book Trailer.

This is an example of what you should have. You should be using around three sheets to storyboar your complete Book Trailer.

  • You can do this activity in groups of 2-3 students.
  • Each student must play a part.
  • This trailer must last no more than 5 minutes for each group.
  • You will have this Tuesday (Oct 30), next Monday (Nov 5) and Tuesday (Nov 6) to work on your Book Trailer. Before you start shooting the video, your teacher must approve your storyboard.
  • Use props and costumes ideally to represent your roles.
  • The shooting of the video and editing must be done in your house. That's why we will not give you any online assignment this week or the next, so you can use this time to work on your Book Trailer in your house.
  • You can use iMovie or Windows Movie Maker to edit your Book Trailer once you finish shooting.
This is an example of a book trailer to get you inspired: "Steampunk Book Trailer"
