List of common conventions for a radio trailer


In Pete Gallacher’s “Life on Mars” trailer we see a bold opening, dramatic sound effects, an outro linking to the name of the show and its release date and a recognisable song. In a TV show trailer this ticks off everything that you are expecting within this trailer. The sound effects used are of police cars which based on this TV show is expected. You may also expect to hear people being arrested as well as general police chases etc. You expect seriousness at the start of the trailer and a scheduled time at the end which are both featured in this trailer. His voice comes across as slightly aggressive which links to the show as it’s a tough talking police drama. It is slightly longer than your average trailer, however as it goes into great detail then this is acceptable.
