Welcome to the Blogging experience! Blogging is a wonderful and productive way for students to work, share and discuss topics in class. The blog will be used to discus our novel "The Cheat" and also be a online bulletin board to share work finished in class.

If you are new or old to blogging it doesn't matter! Get going, get involved and get busy learning.

Making Trailers:
What is a Movie Trailer?  It is a fast paced, attention grabbing video, that establishes the characters, problems, and underlying tensions of the story without revealing the ending.  

In this case we will make the trailer for the Movie The Cheat

  • Focus on one main character
  • Draw and sketch possible scenes (2-5 second bursts)
  • Planning is essential / shooting video is easy
  • Experiment with iMovie and trailers
  • Groups of 4-6 (mix of guys and girls)

How to make Trailers video :

  1. Decide what character your trailer will focus on! 
  2. Sketch and jot down 15 - 20 scenes to film.  Remember the scenes are fast and are only on screen for a few seconds.
  3. Pick the Trailer template
  4. Designate actors and consider props and filming locations
  5. Explore and practice with ipad and iMovie
