Marketing with Mandy: Book Videos Part II
Michelle M. Pillow. She’ll be talking with us about how to make a book video!
How to Make a very Basic Movie:
1.Gather the stock photography/graphic images you want to use to illustrate your story. Since you’re advertising a book, these need to be copyright free, stock photos/graphics or photos/graphics that you have permission to use. It might help to read over your blurb and get a basic idea of what you want your movie to say, including the overall feel and tone the images should portray. Make sure the graphics are cropped, edited and ready to use in your movie. You don’t need to worry about putting text directly on these pictures unless you want the wording integrated into the picture itself.
Here are just a few of the places you can buy royalty free stock photos:
Big Stock Photo
Free Stock Photo
Shutter Stock
Fotolia
photos.com
2. As you work in Movie Maker, make sure you choose ‘File’, ‘Save Project’ (or save after the first time) to back up your movie after or during each step.
