Editing our Radio Trailer

To produce our radio trailer we used our schools radio suite.

Using Mr Phillips, a teacher at our school, the voice over recording was imported as well as the music bed 'Just can't get enough' by Depeche Mode.Later we were adding in extracts from the documentary and removing the visual. 

We then altered the sound levels to make the music bed quiet and smooth with no point being too loud or to quiet. We decided to use an on going part in the song which had no lyrical parts in so it would no distract from the voice over.

Codes and Conventions of Print Adverts

We looked at various print adverts using the website
http://www.4creative.co.uk/flash/#/print/press_and_poster/ 
Looking at The Channel 4 adverts, we used these to produce our own, using the following Codes and
Conventions:

• One strong, main image
• Words are kept to a minimum 
• The slogan is also included on the print advert
• The title is always included
• The scheduling information always included
• Channel logo is prominent  and on the right hand side
• The print advert is usually A4, landscape size so that it is versatile and can be used at various sizes in newspapers, magazines or on billboards

Examples from 4creative.

Codes and Conventions of a Radio Trailer

• Includes extracts from the program
• There is a voice over inter cut throughout 
• The trailer should intrigue the audience and make them want to find out more 
• The scheduling information is included at the end in the order of: title, day & time, channel
• There is a music bed where appropriate
• It is 30-40 seconds long
• Sometimes includes a slogan
• Sound effects are used 

An example of this would be Channel 4's 'Special needs Pets' trailer.
