Today we began researching and discussing our ideas for our radio trailer, after much research on the internet we found it very difficult in finding a radio trailer in the horror genre, so instead we began researching film trailers using youtube just to focus on the audio and pick up on any key conventions of sound that we could find.
One film trailer that helped us understand the typical audio conventions was 'The Eye'
'The Eye' taught us a lot about how to increase tension and alter the pace and tone of a trailer just by changing the sound and tempo of music. Within the 'The Eye's' trailer the music was constantly increasing and slowing down in pace portraying and parrelling the action and fear. This change in sound also keeps the audience on edge and stops them knowing what to expect next linking with the genre of the film which is horror. Throughout 'The Eye' voice clips of the characters is used along side long slient pauses this adds an intense fear and gives the audience an exceptation of what to expect from the characters and the film.
Despite being film trailers, analysing the audio of film trailers helped
me to think of ideas for my radio trailer.
