I have to admit that I never really liked the book trailer video idea. Using video to advertise a movie or video game seems entirely appropriate, but advertising something that is text just seems wrong. However, after almost three years of people advising me to give it a go, I have and I'm not too sure how to rate the results. If it was a movie I'd use clips to give some idea of the cast, effects and style etc., but that's not really an option with a novel.

Hey, at least you tried. I'm certainly no expert by any means but it's concise and doesn't seem too long to me.
ReplyDeleteI thought short was better. I couldn't imagine anyone watching more than about 1 minute of book trailer and TV commercials are often around the 30 second mark.
