Secondary Research

You don’t need to start from scratch for secondary research. Secondary research is when you search and find books, newspapers and websites. You just need the data done by others.

Conducting Secondary Research

For my secondary research, I have found out what people think about the film ‘Kick ass’. From what I read most people seems to like the film ‘kick ass’. Some people want more action and some want less. You cant judge a film without watching it or reading reviews. Everyone has different expectations, but the movie can be judged over a trailer. Some people said ‘This is definitely the best movie of 2010 so far, hands down’. This kind of review will get more people too watch the film.
