Comments on the making of the Radio trailer

First, We also used a Zoom hand recorder to capture the Narrators voice for the radio trailer. This was done in a quiet room and allowed us to record good quality sound quickly and easily. Another advantage using this was

We edited the radio trailer on a Piece of software called garage band which is a simple piece of sound editing software which allows users to record sounds and put them together.  We had some problems with importing sounds that we wanted from our films to the radio trailer on garage band.

This was found to be due to the sound on the film to be a different format to the sounds that would accepted on garage band. We solved this problem by exporting the sounds from the film through quicktime conversion on to a different file, and importing the new file on to garage band.

Once we had all the sounds on, the software allowed us to alter various things about the recordings such as the volumes in different locations on the sound because was wanted the music in the background to be quieter when the narrator was talking or when there was some sound from the film. We could also alter the placement of the sound and with the volume altering time line, we could also fade the music out at the end to smooth the transition in to the last sound bite from the film.

As a result, the zoom mic and Garage band allowed us to make an effective radio trailer that works well with the film and it's genre.
