Codes and conventions of Radio Trailers

  • Ended with a different voice explaining when and where it will be shown.

  • Sound effects, sometimes used to grab attention.

  • Uses a voice over that we assume is from the documentary. The voice over creates expectations for the listener e.g. a man's voice on the radio advert means that there will be a male voiceover on the documentary.

  • Take extracts from your programme, in order to hint what will be in the programme and create the link.

  • Make sure the beginning is clear, so the audiences attention is bought.

  • Music bed that relates to the topic or theme.
