This project I was required to make a 30 second trailer for a book soon coming to film. I decided to create a trailer for a book by Dan Brown called Digital Fortress. Really good book for those who haven’t read it here is a little synopsis:
When the National Security Agency’s invincible code-breaking machine encounters a mysterious code it cannot break, the agency calls in its head cryptographer, Susan Fletcher, a brilliant, beautiful mathematician. What she uncovers sends shock waves through the corridors of power. The NSA is being held hostage – not by guns or bombs, but by a code so complex that if released would cripple U.S. intelligence. Caught in an accelerating tempest of secrecy and lies, Fletcher battles to save the agency she believes in. Betrayed on all sides, she finds herself fighting not only for her country but for her life, and in the end, for the life of the man she loves…
I used the following programs to create the trailer: Adobe Illustrator and Adobe After Effects (a program that I have only touched on but never really delved into until now). Here is the final trailer, enjoy!
