Creating a Movie Trailer (assuming the Cheat was a movie)

The Software is on the computer.  It provides a template(love story, action, suspense etc.) of the type of video that is needed (action, close up, friendly etc.) As well highlights where text is needed.  Music is also provided.  The parts you will need to plan are what scenes to shoot (brief).

You will create the trailer for the Cheat.  Promote the movie in the way you want to emphasize the story.  Is it about Jake? or Sarah, Rob.  In order to focus your trailer the first step will establishing a clear main idea for the story and highlighting which character and main idea you want the audience to appreciate.

Check out the clips below about how the Imac Pro makes trailers and view a completed one.

Did you like the authors style to finish the book this way?
