There are so many ways to make a book trailer. You can:
1. Put together pictures and words (text) with background music (a sound track).
2. Put together pictures and short video clips (or even video game animation) with text.
3. Put together pictures and/or video clips (or even video game animation) with your own narration (called a voiceover).
4. Act something out (video record your friends!)
5. Use clay, play-dough, sock puppets, dolls, etc. to create a video using stop motion animation.
6. (like #5) Use a dry erase board or notebook to animate words and add a music track (like a soundtrack).
What are your ideas?
