Book Trailer: Revolution, Jennifer Donnelly

I made this booktrailer to use with my students in the fall. 

According to the Fair Use website http://www.copyright.gov/fls/fl102.html: "Section 107 also sets out four factors to be considered in determining whether or not a particular use is fair:
    1. The purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes
    2. The nature of the copyrighted work
    3. The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole
    4. The effect of the use upon the potential market for, or value of, the copyrighted work "
Although the distinction between fair use and copyright violations is ambiguous, I believe the use of videos and photos in this booktrailer constitutes Fair Use.
