Throughout //The Graveyard Book//, we analyzed the element of plot, distinguishing how certain events help introduce the setting, or advance the story. We narrowed it down and incorporated what webelieve to be the most significant pieces of the book into the project. Only events from the rising action to the climax were included in order to replicate a traditional trailer.

The film begins with the Murder of Bod’s family. wewanted the movie to have a compelling intro just as the book did. This shot is also part of the exposition, which is essential to any story. The second clip shows Bod’s initial encounter with Silas. The rest of the trailer consists of instances in the story that are good examples of rising actions. we chose Scarlett meeting Bod as the first, because it introduces you to several substantial characters. Scarlett and the Sleer. The next scene shows Bod’s experience with the Ghoul Gate. weconsidered this to be one of the most memorable parts of the book because it gives you a perception of how vast the world of the dead is. The next section of the trailer is brief, and shows Bod fading to escape Abanazer’s store. we included this because it captures Bod’s supernatural powers, which are emphasized throughout the story.

The trailer reaches its peak when Mr. Frost removes his disguise exposing himself as the man Jack. It was important to put this into the trailer because it’s the climax of the book, which is a vital part of the story. It’s a this point when Jack says, “Now, boy. Time to finish this.” We chose this quote because it takes place during the most intense part of the narrative. It also marks the turning point of the plot. The next few clips don’t reference any specific part of the book, although they represent the ambience of the story, and demonstrate Silas’s abilities as a vampire. Overall, we think the trailer was able to visually express the plot of //The Graveyard Book//.
