Radio Trailer

Using my knowledge from studying radio trailers, I have had a quick attempt at producing my own on Garageband to promote an upcoming fictional film for release. I started by producing the basic music score which I then built on top of with dialogue. I was careful to make sure that the tone of the music was appropriate to the genre of the film - a coming-of-age story set in an American high school, meaning the tone of the music had a cheery, pop-music sound to appeal to a teenage audience. I followed all of the appropriate conventions such as the use of lines of dialogue taken directly from the film in order to give an indication of the narrative. I also used a voice over as narrator as most radio trailers do which pulled the trailer along and gave it structure, revealing the title of the film as well as its release date. The radio trailer includes quotes from reviews by reliable sources such as Empire magazine which provide the film with a positive reputation hopefully enticing audiences to the cinema.
