Radio Trailer Analysis
For our radio trailer of The Outsider we concentrated on the genre of
horror.
When narrating the trailer we used a sombre tone in order to relate to
our chosen genre. At the beginning of our trailer, we added “From the makers of
Frankenstein” this is a cultural code as it refers to a popular horror/monster
film. Once the music stops the slogan, “Be careful who you hurt” is whispered
which creates an enigma.
Throughout our trailer there is a total of 5 music tracks. Together
they create a sense of disorientation. As it progresses, the music heightens and
becomes more dramatic. This is an example of an action code. We used the sound
effect of someone walking at the start of the trailer. This correlates to the
narrative containing the main character walking through the woods at the
beginning of our film. However, as the audience doesn’t know whose footsteps
they are, it creates an enigma and semantic code.
To improve the trailer we could add more narration to give the audience
more information about the film, and add reviews and ratings.
