Although this is not a film trailer, (it is a book trailer) I think this is the best place for this to go.
"Tom Trueheart must rescue his six brothers and their Princess brides from the Land of Dark Stories."
A stunning opening scene zooms through the pine needles and falling snow to zoom in on the hero of our story, Tom.
"He has a special sword, He has courage, He has purpose, There is only one problem, he is the size of a thumb."
Teaching ideas
- Ask the children to write the opening of the story, describing the setting before introducing Tom.
- Write and record a voice over for the trailer. Ask children to time it, record and overlay onto the film.
- Write adventure stories using Tom as the hero.
- Create own version of The Book of Dark stories using prompts from the clip.
