Recording and editing radio trailer

In todays lesson we recored our radio trailer with Mr Riley who was our voice over. We had to record our voice over twice as the we had made changes after our first recording. After we had all the recordings done we edited the voiceovers and put the bits that we want in the right places and took the parts of the documentary that we were using for the radio trailer and added them in.

 

In this screenshot, we were listening to one of the voiceovers trying to pick out the bits that we wanted and then pulled it into the correct place. We had to get the same person who had done the voiceover for our documentary to do our radio trailer.

We had to create a title for the radio trailer so that people knew what they were watching. We created it by pressing crt+t and then dragging it down over the top of the voice recordings. After this, we had to find a song to add that related to the documentary and sounded good. Once we found one, we edited it so the song was as long as the radio trailer, but put a fade in at the end so that it sounded better. We also changed the volume level of the song so that the voice over could be heard and the music was just in the background.

We looked at our interviews and picked out the bits that we wanted to be heard in our radio trailer. When we had the bits we wanted, we put the brackets around it and then dropped it into the sequence below where we wanted it.
