Codes and Conventions of Radio Trailers


Today in Media, we looked at the codes and conventions of Radio Trailers;

  • Narrator is either male or female and they speak in standard English
  • Music with no lyrics is used in the background and it links to the theme or topic of the documentary
  • Uses extracts from the documentaries
  • Uses sound effects
  • Lasts between 30 and 40 seconds
  • Beginning grabs the attention of the audience
  • Uses the same voice over as in the documentary
  • Scheduling is usually in a different voice
  • Same theme and slogan used in both the Radio trailer and the documentary
