Radio Trailers

For our film we have been asked to create a radio trailer. So through a lot of research we discovered that I couldn't really find any. So instead I decided that I would look at movie trailers that have a lot of dialogue and sound. This is because most radio trailers are very similar to the movie trailer anyway and use sound bites from the film.

The Kings Speech
This is a very useful trailer as it efficiently combines music and dialogue while also portraying the unique selling point of the film. The way in which key lines of the film also makes this trailer very useful as it helps me understand what are the most important things to include in our radio trailer. The music in this trailer is very meaningful and is edited so that faster tempo's are used on more aggressive parts of the trailer for example the change in tempo at 0:13 seconds.

The main features I think that our radio trailer could draw from The Kings Speech trailer are the use of music as part of rhythmic editing, as I think that this is very important because it adds to dramatization .

The Fighter
This is another very helpful trailer as it uses lots of dialogue that summarizes the general gist of the film. Without this I think that it would be very hard to understand what the film is about which is something we do not want to happen with our film. The use of music also plays a key part in this trailer as again it adds to the general effect of the film on its audiences. The music used in the first 20 seconds sets up the first part of the trailer and creates a strong image for listeners.

The features from this trailer that I think we could incorporate into our radio trailer is the strength of the dialogue. By using key lines from the film it really creates strong imagery in your mind about what will happen in the film and makes the audience want to watch the film.
