Book Trailer Contest

Hey NovMo-ers! In regard to NovMo, there’ll be a book trailer contest.

This is just as it sounds, a trailer (like for the movies), but for your book of course.
Here you can add whatever you want to grab your reader’s attention to read your book.

RULES
!!! The following rules are mandatory for all participants !!!

You’re allowed to use pictures, gifs, videos as long as nothing is related to yourself. If you use art from the internet, please make sure to credit the creators whenever possible, and make sure not to use it if they don't allow reposts. Check out the plagiarism rules.

* Internet Safety has to be taken into account
Please check out the YWS rules & the rules on Internet Safety before starting.

Second, the rating is all 16 and under; That means
* No mature scenes,
* Not too much gore and violence.
* And for other TW’s (swearing, etc.) please provide a warning (in your post or at the beginning of your trailer).

Make sure you also take the rating rules into account.

Time Limit: The Trailer has to be max. 3 minutes!

You will be judged on:
* Creativity
* Orginality & Quality
* Engaging (Teaser Effect)
* Timing
* You took all the rules into account.

Judging will be done by the lovely Gen Lit. Crew ^^

The end result:
Step 1: Go over all the rules again.
Step 2: Make sure you signed off with your username and not your real name.
Step 3: Make a post with any TW's or other things the audience should know before they click on your video.
Step 4: Add a link to your video (e.g. youtube) or just the video itself in the post is also allowed (e.g. imgur). If you'd like to embed your video in your post, you can use the following code:

Hello fellow book trailerers!

Here's a link to my book trailer - Dawn of D.R.U. Book Trailer for YWS

TW: Cartoonish depictions of blood, FLASHING IMAGES, Possible overstim

Art, photography, voiceover and art done by me! (tho, some photos used were from my partner when she drove cross-country lol)
Song used: Run by IAMTHEKIDYOUKNOWWHATIMEAN

This was my first time approaching something like a trailer, but I just kind of tried to have fun and do what came to my mind first. Hope everyone enjoys!

Okay, I decided to go ahead and submit mine since I went through the effort of making it.

Rating: 16+

TWs:

All credits are mine except for music.

Music credits go to Synthetic Epiphany- "Endgame"

And a quick note: I was a nursing student earlier this year. All materials used in this video came from leftovers, and I did not injure myself while making this video. Also, I think everyone knows this, but Kaia Jersaga is not my true name. I shortened my pen name here on YWS for easier tagging purposes.

I totally misread the deadline, and only realised on like the 25th. However, it took me a very long time to make it, and I want to share it even if it isn't in accepted.
Rating: 16+ (mild psychological themes. Btw there's no blood, only red markers.)
