Book Trailers for Readers (www.booktrailersforreaders.com) is a great way to get students excited about their reading. This website displays book trailers created by students, which got me thinking. What apps on the iPad could help in the creation of a movie trailer? Here's what I came up with.....
If your students need to watch a sample movie trailer to learn how the pros do it...use the iTunes Movie Trailer app (FREE). I would be careful just letting students go free on this app, but instead, choose a few student-friendly movie trailers to watch. As you watch the trailers, have students fill out this organizer (Movie Trailer Analysis Organizer).

After you have analyzed a few movie trailers together as a group, they are ready to create on themselves. Here are some resources to help with the planning process:
Here is a movie that explains why storyboards are important in movie making. It talks about the different types of shots for each scene and that your pictures aren't elaborate, stick figures work just fine too.
List of apps to help create storyboards:
iBrainstorm
Strip Designer
Popplet
Story Me
iBrainstorm
Now that your students have their storyboards created, they are ready to make their movie trailer. Here is a list of apps that students can use to create a movie trailer:
iMovie App and Directions on how to use
Lego Movie Maker
Puppet Pals
Toontastic
And the last piece...assessing student work.
