The students who have already completed the 2012 PRC will be taking on a
new challenge-
To
celebrate the National Year of Reading, students are challenge
to create an eBooktrailer as a way of motivating others to
read something that they really enjoyed.
Book trailers are similar to movie trailers, in that they are
designed to build interest in a novel and to encourage people to read the book.
The main difference is that a movie trailer is based on clips from the film.
With a book trailer, the maker has to convert the written words into visual
images, text and audio. A book trailer conveys a sense of what the book is about
without giving anything away - and without really clearly defining what the
characters, location and objects look like, allowing readers to visualise what
they are reading about as they imagine it themselves.
Extended
deadline Wed 1 August See WeCreate website for further details
Further
enquiries wecreate@det.nsw.edu.au
Fantastic prizes from our sponsors will be awarded
at the ceremony at
the
Sydney Opera House in November.
Students can start by viewing other student created booktrailers and
deconstructing the features that are most effective.
