Example of radio trailers

This is an example of a radio trailer from Doctor Who Doctor who radio trailer.

The aspects of the trailer relate to doctor who as the sounds represent that genre e.g. tardis sound in background shows it's Doctor Who. The music sounds spacey which allows the audience to know they're listening to an advert about Doctor Who. It uses dialogue to show there are different situations happening in the tv show and discusses them in the trailer to entice the audience into watching it.

The fact that the audience can't see what's going on and can only hear it makes it more exciting because they only get a hint of what's happening.

Dialogue on the film trailer may include quotes from newspapers or film critiques in order to compare the film to others, which may encourage the listener to watch it as they could like the film it has been compared with. The rating usually appears with this as well.

Radio trailers include voice overs and the trailer would either have the main characters voice over the top or someone changing their voice to the overall genre and mood of the film. Such as a scarier film trailer would have a deep, frightening voice over.

Though I couldn't find many radio trailers on the internet as they're usually only featured in short bits on the radio, taking a film trailer and just listening to the sound and dialogue gives the same effect...
Terminator trailer

There isn't much of a voice over and more dialogue and diegetic sound however you can clearly see that gun noises, speech and the sounds of action as well as the voiceover explaining what the character is doing makes the audience intrigued to watch. The gun shots and action noises such as kicking open a door shows that the film is action based and a thriller. The deeper the voice over of a film makes it sound darker, showing the genre of the film. Our film would have a darker feel to it so we would use a deeper voice in the trailer. I also noticed the protagonist in the film isn't the one who's doing the voiceover. Using someone else as a voiceover would make the film seem less realistic and maybe more people would watch it as they could see it's not as scary.
