Make a showreel
In a similar way to a film trailer, a 'showreel' brings together exciting or memorable moments from a range of films. Every year, an organization called Film Distributor’s Association (FDA) produces a showreel for the cinema which advertises the summer's releases. You can see this year’s Summer of Film Showreel in the viewer on this page.
In this activity you will use clips from a variety of trailers for this summer's films to make a new showreel for the FDA to promote this summer’s cinema releases. The editing suite, which will launch from the link below, has everything you need; the PDF helpsheet below explains what you need to do.
