Saving images for your book trailer:

*Remember, if your book has been made into a movie, you want to stay away from the movie's images and songs. Pretend you are a new director making your own remake of the movie.

*You are going to have the internet explorer and Microsoft word document open at the same time, in which you will be flipping back and forth between at all times.

*You will need anywhere from 40-60 images to start your project. You will not use all of these images, but it will give you choices.

Step one: Create a new folder on your flash drive by going to the windows log in the lower left corner, selecting computer, clicking on your flash drive, right clicking your mouse in the white space on the right side, selecting "new" and then "folder". Title it "[Insert title of your book] book trailer".

Step two: Open up a Microsoft word document file. Title the top of the page, "Book Trailer Image Citations" and go ahead and save this file to your flash drive by clicking "File", "Save As", click on "Computer" and find your flash drive, select your flash drive, open the book trailer folder you just made, and then rename your file at the bottom to be "[Insert title of your book] image citations".

Step three: Open up internet explorer. Go to "". Change the search format to "images" at the top. Then type in key phrases, such as heart, prison, money, teen boy, blonde girl, sad child, etc. to find your images.

Step four: Once you have found an image, click on that image to open it all the way. You may have to click on it twice to open it up to it's fullest image. You want the largest image possible, not just the thumbnail shown on the Google search page. Once the image is opened all the way, right click on the image, and select "save picture as", find your flash drive and save it to the folder you created on that flash drive. Now, before you leave that picture, go copy the URL and paste it onto the Microsoft word document.

Step five: Before leaving that image on Google, you must copy the URL website address and paste it onto the Microsoft Word image citation page you created. You will need to describe the picture you are saving such as "hands folded outside of jail cell" and then copy the URL website. Here is an example of what it might look like:

hands folded outside of jail cell -

NOW REPEAT STEPS THREE - FIVE

Final steps: Before leaving, be sure to log off of computer, take your flash drive with you, and push in your chair.

| |the credits for each of the quotes. |

If you want the same effect for all – Select “apply to all

How long each slide will remain on the screen. If you want to edit all the slides to be on for the same amount, click on the first slide and then while holding the “shift” key, select the last screen. I would suggest starting with this method, but altering each slide as needed.

Start time is where in the project you want the music to begin.

Start point is where in the music you want the song to start playing.

Music volume-set the volume in which you want the music to project

Fade in and out – indicate the pace in which you want your music to start and end

Use split if you want to insert another song within the middle of your first song

Used to edit anything related to the font

Used to align the text

Used to edit text, background color, and/or timing

Choose any effect that you want to apply to the text; such as the way it enters or exits a screen

This is the CORRECT way to save it as a movie that can be seen on any computer

This is the INCORRECT way to save it as a movie, but you want to have this because this is the PROJECT file that can still be edited
