the informationhas been sourcedfromone personcalledHughHart.But italso has several quotes
fromotherfamous cinematographers and filmmakers tohelpprove hispoint.Butitisall setfrom
hispointof view
Is the researchsource factual (providing information), opinion led (the authors point of view) or both?
Thistextis an opinionated pieceof worksince the informationisnot necessary factual correctsince
it iswhathis opinion isonwhatmakesa goodfilmandwhat he thinksisneededinorderto create
one . Althoughthere are sofacts for some of the statements butthey are mainly theory's rather
than factsso it is pretty much both factual and opinionview .
What is the key question(s) the author of the researchis addressing?
The main pointthatHugh Hart istryingto getacross to the readersis 9 differentwaysthattheycan

any projects thattheyhappentomake .Althoughitisaimedatshortmovieshe also triestogive
helpful tipsinordertohelpoutthose whoare workingon trailerssuchas myself .
In your opinion, what is the most important information in the researchsource?
3. In mypersonal opinionthe thing inthistextthatismostimportto me is the followingquote " A
trailer's most valuable asset? Originality. "The first thing we look for is fresh moments that you
wouldn't see in another movie because, let's be honest, movies can often be derivative," he
says. "If something worked once, there'll be four spin-offsof that idea,so there's a lot of
repetition in the marketplace. You want to pick out things where you say, 'Okay that doesn't
look like 10 other movies I've seen.'" This shows that in order to make more people come to see
the movie the trailer must be innervated it can't be too original because if it is people will think
that they have seen the type of movie before and won't want to watch it
What conclusions have you arrived at after conducting this research?
From readingthistextithas give me several differentpointsthatwouldhelpme tomake mymovie
trailer.Firstisto start witha grippingopeningandendwithagoodcliff hangerthatgrabs the
