The Final Presentation. No Really...




Hiya,

So here is the final presentation!

It's a mashup and commentary of what has happened over the past few weeks that I have been doing this!

ENJOY!

The Best of the Best

Book Trailers that are very successful.

Book trailers have been gaining popularity over the past few years and everyone is trying to create one, from big publishing companies to librarians and school kids. 

As you've seen over the past few months I've added some really good ones, but I've also shown some pretty crap ones to be honest.


So here's some of my favourite.

Under the Never Sky
















Room
















The Karma Club


Divergent

















This is only a few of the ones that I have loved and I wish that I could have had more up here!

The final presentation

Hiya,

So here's the presentation I'll be giving in class tonight as the second last aspect of this assignment.

I'll be showing my two trailers and a little intro presentation as well. All of them have been made individually using Movie Maker and then grouped together in another presentation using MM again.

I used Fur Elise for the music plus a door and a scream for the background music trailer and just my voice for the voice over trailer. (By the end of the night they'll be sick of my voice). But it only goes for a little over two minutes so it shouldn't be that annoying.

I can't seem to upload the video I'll be using as my internet is not playing nice, or maybe it doesn't let you upload files of a certain size, either way I'll try and get it up and running when I get to Uni!

Imagine both trailers and a little intro at the start and in the middle to introduce the next section. 

How I... Voice over

The techy side of things.

What I used:
Microsoft Movie Maker
WavePad Audio
Images from friends
My Voice

How?

I created the video first, only having a rough idea of what I wanted to say in the trailer. I used my own images as well as that of my friends and family to create the visual. And the voice was just recorded using WavePad.

The step-by-step instructions are the same as those I used the first time round. So back in April. You can find them under the April heading!

The only thing that changed was using WavePad.

It took a while to figure out exactly what I was doing and to mentally swap my voice out for Morgan Freeman's (there are only so many times you can hear you voice before screaming).

My spruik on the WavePad software is under the May heading.

Give it a go!

How I... Background music

Hiya,

What I used:
Micosoft Movie Maker
WavePad Audio
Fur Elise
Slamming Door
Female Scream
My Voice

How?
Like the Voice over trailer the visual side was decided on first before I even thought of what the music would sound like. I originally was going to go with the idea of slow drums, but then I was told that it just left people confused so, yeah, that got changed. 

Using Fur Elise is definitely a better idea, its eerie but calming (to me), so I hope that others think it works well! 

I also downloaded two sound effects from WavePad's library (a whinning door and a female scream) both I think are awesome, but it all depends on really what happens with everyone at my presentation!

The visual aspects are similar to the voice over track but it has more detailed picture of all the stars of the novella. I still say that J did an epic job!
