Creating the Radio Trailer

BBC 4 Radio Trailer on a Weather Documentary:

  • Sound effects
  • Voiceover (weatherman, John Kettley)
  • Female voiceover at the end - Scheduling, 'Coming soon', Channel
  • SFX realte to what the weatherman was saying
  • Humour in script
  • Sound levels – weather becomes louder

Last chance to see:

  • Voiceover Stephen Fry
  • Like he is telling a story
  • Calm delivery
  • SFX relate to what he’s saying
  • Music bed – gentle
  • Woman voiceover with scheduling
  • All other sounds stop

Special Needs Pets:

  • Music bed throughout
  • Woman ‘introducing’ excerpts
  • Music is juxtaposed with subject
  • Silly
  • Quirky
  • Woman voiceover intercut with extracts
  • Poses questions for the audience
  • Intrigues audience
  • Scheduling

Codes and Conventions of a Radio Trailer:

  • Voiceover intercut throughout
  • Trailer should intrigue an audience
  • Make them want to find out more
  • Scheduling info at the end always goes title, day, time, channel
  • Music bed where appropriate
  • 30 – 40 seconds long
  • Scheduling
  • Extracts from the programme

Throught the production of our radio teailer, we took screengrabs.

This is our timeline after everything has been added and put into order:





This is the mixer were we changed the levels of the different parts of the trailer:





















Here is how we checked that the audio levels wokred when they were together because they all had to be below -6:
