Radio Trailer Analysis

Trailer for (station/channel)	The EMA scandal, Radio 1.
Target audience	Young adults
Tone of voice?	Mellow female voice to perhaps represent the serious issues of the documentary rather than to be enthusiastic of the issue
Sound effects	Sound representing switching a device on and off. Also the sound of “Radio 1” introduction (3, 2 1 Radio 1). Voice is echoed at the end which makes the message more memorable.
Wildtrack/ambient sound?	Electronic music playing in background
Use of music	Quiet fast paced music.
How many tracks?	1
Sound levels?	The voiceover is the main focus, which is aided by the fact that the music is very quiet and not distracting of the overall message. We prefer this approach to the previous radio trailer as it means the audience can fully listen and understand the message being said.
Length?	30 seconds
Other notes/conventions	Fast paced, quick cutting clips of interview voices from one to the other. The straight cut means it sounds very professional and means there is no wasted time space.
How this will influence our radio trailer	The clarity of the voice over which is influenced by the music being quiet and not distracting makes this a very successful radio trailer. Well constructed, well structured use of important quotes from the documentary are very successful in highlightlighting the overall message of the documentary.
