#1. Create a StoryBoard
Today you will create a booktrailer video using the iMovie app on the iPad. The goal of an iMovie is to "persuade the viewer", give information about the character and their problem and show it all in an entertaining way.
Let's Get Started:in
- you will write a summary of a book that you have recently read for your storyboard.
- Storyboard-Identify the problem(s); the solution; the character makes a decision; excitement of resolution; slogan/find out what happens or if the character solves their problem
- Find a iMovie Trailer Planner that agrees with your story's plot or genre from LearninginHands.com
