I want to make a movie trailer for the book, The Catcher in the Rye for my AP Language and Composition class, but I don’t know how to go about doing that.
I was considering editing a few movie clips together, but I don’t know which movie(s) I could use.
Any suggestions?

in that movie promo guy’s voice "From that book that you were supposed to read in high-school, but you just googled the synopsis. The story of Holden Caulfield journey through adolescence. J.D. Salinger’s "The Catcher in the Rye." Using mostly generic still pics of a teenage boys and a few "flits"

well i’m a firm believer in brevity being the soul of wit so i would apply that adage here and make a black and white trailer. since the book obviously has a more depressed feel to it i’d use almost no sound. most of it would be silent..but, in a good, artistic way. it’ll come off well if you do. and one of the main things if you could round up enough kids would to have Holden standing there as dozens of kids run by him in slow motion. (making him the catcher in the rye accorded the part in the book that gives the book it’s name).
PS and of course a field of rye would be a necessity.

Do a Google search for "catcher in the rye trailer". Apparently this project has been assigned a lot.
Here’s an example:
I’d focus on memorable images from the book, like luggage and the carousel, and of course prep school boys.
A movie that flow in the same vein might be Dead Poet Society.

I never read the story. I only have advice.
Just go with your heart and what the story’s supposed to be about. It’ll create its own trailer. Just be creative.
