Tips For Completing The Project

(If you have some additional tips you would wish to add on making a successful project, we can add them! This list is customizable.)

• Think about the tone of the book and try to convey that tone to your audience in a way that makes them want to read the book for themselves.

• Storyboards (or shot lists)can help with planning your video. Keep in mind that you don’t have to be an excellent artist and that stick figures and color pencils can help get your point across.

• Use appropriate music minimally and consider using your creative commons resources.

• When working with photos, use cropping effects like ken burns to ‘zoom in’ on important details the audience should pick up on.

• Take advantage of shot angles and shot size to help communicate mood and tone displayed in the book.
