Editing the radio trailer

Once we had recorded the radio trailer, we went and edited it. It took only a lesson to put the whole radio trailer together including recording it. We just had to copy sections from our documentary to a new sequence and add the radio trailer we had just recoded. We chopped the voice over up and slotted in the section from the documentary. once we had added a music bed it was finished.

Recording voice over and radio trailer

These are pictures of us recording the voice over and radio trailer in our schools recoding studio.

It was very easy to use the mixing desks, all we had to do was push up the switch and press record.

We later added the voice-over to the documentary and added the radio voice-over to the radio trailer

This is Niall, one of the people in our group doing the voice over. We chose him as he fits in appropriately to our target audience, and it was handy him being in our group so we could schedule it any time.

It only took us around 15 minutes to record and upload the voice over and radio trailer. It was easy to use and quick to do.

This is a video of us in the recording studio, and Niall doing the voice over and radio trailer,

Codes and conventions of a radio trailer

The title of the documentary is usually said along with the scheduling of the documentary.

They always include what channel the documentary will appear on (this is usually said last)

Extracts from the programme are used, usually involving a key element from the documentary

There is a voice over which intercuts throughout and outlines the narrative, sometimes posting questions to the audience that will be addressed in the documentary. This is used to intrigue the audience into wanting to watch the documentary.

Usually lasts for 30 - 40 seconds.

There is always a music bed

The advert is always played on an appropriate radio channel; BBC programmes can be advertised on Radio 1
