"The story line keeps you on the edge of your seat and adds in enough humour to make it a thoroughly enjoyable experience. There is an amazing, subtle chemistry Jake and Michelle which really is the star of the film, performances by all the actors are excellent."
This a review the action thriller source Code, I 100% agree with this review because i feel that the film kept you on the edge of your seat throughout with little hints of what to come and also the fact that you dont know if hes going to succeed or not." 
This is a cinematic trailer for the film Source Code.

This trailer is effective because it is the perfect balance and of showing enough infomation to not spoil the movies plot but is enough to get people to want to watch the film and be interested in the story. The trailer appeals to multiple audiences by showing all the fast paced action at the start to appeal to the hardcore action fans which are mainly male and then during the mid way point of the trailer it gives a hint of a love story which appeals to the females. These excerpts have been added to give the railer a build and plot in its self and makes the film seem really in-depth and meaningful. The trailer has been edited in a way which it is very quick shots lasting a second or less and then during the middle we get a significant information about the movie and then the trailers pace slows down mainly to keep us hooked and to not reveal much information. The target audience is targeted by all the explosions and action showed in the trailer to appeal to the male viewership and then the romantic connection between Jake and Michelle appeals to the female viewership.



This is a sequence containing the first 5 minutes of the film Source Code.

The frist 5 minutes of Source Code are the most important 5 minutes of the film because we see the chain of events that replay as the movie progresses and we need to remember these key iconic moments  e.g. the coffee spilling on the shoe and the man dropping his wallet. The first 5 minutes shows the connection almost immediately between Jake and Michelle. The first 5 minutes also show Jakes confusion with the hole situation and he already before knowing the assignment gets suspicions about the train.
