The study material was 70 book trailers posted in the public domain on TikTok platform. These videos were placed in the form of a playlist for this study.

Each of them is characterized by its own characteristics of the information contained. The frames of TikTok’s book trailers reflect the structural plot elements of the primary source — the book. They arrange the voluminous information of the literary work in boxes, lining up according to the principles of logical relationship to each other.
