Radio trailer research

For my radio trailer I have been trying to do some research and trying to find other films that have radio trailers. From what I can find there aren't many, I found one for the new Fast and Furious 5 and one for a Romantic Comedy but from what I've heard I think I should manage to create one without many examples to base it on.

There are three ways I could create my radio trailer:

1. Using mostly extracts from my film to build up the plot line with an introduction of the film name.
2. Using peoples comments on the film to take up the reel time with a short explanation of the film
3. An introduction to the film with talk of it being an award winner and a 'must see' 

Radio Trailer

So far I have been researching programs to use to create my radio trailer I have found a few options, We can use final cut pro, final cut express or the sound recording equipment in college such as soundtrack pro.

SOUNDTRACK PRO

Soundtrack pro is known for audio editing software but I have never used it before and I'm not sure its necessary to go through the lengthy process of learning how to use the software for a project that I could easily complete on a version of Final Cut that I know how to use.

FINAL CUT PRO

Final cut pro is video editing software however I feel well acquainted with it now and would feel more comfortable using software I have used before.

FINAL CUT EXPRESS

Final cut express is a more simple version of Final cut pro, It appears to have everything I need to complete my radio trailer therefore I do not see the point in using Final Cut Pro or Soundtrack Pro to create this part of my project when Final Cut Express has everything I need to make it.

Magazine research - significant progress

I have almost completed the second page of my magazine article and everything seems to be on track

Although I'm happy with the way things are going I think I could have chosen better pictures to use, although the pictures work well as an important part of the plot line there are more attractive photos I could use to draw attention to how well the project was films so I will have to go back to college and collect more appropriate stills to use on the second page of my magazine article.

magazine article - first draft

This is a screen shot of the first page of my article so far, I have been working to put everything in place to make it look as professional as possible, a sufficient amount of work still needs to be done with the writing and a few fine points need tweaking but everything is coming along well so far and I'm positive that I will be proud of the end result.

magazine article - finishing touches

I have created a few boxes to put at the end of the text from my article to wrap up the article and give a little more information on my project, this will show at the bottom right hand corner of my article to provide a clear end to the article itself.

This text shows the rest of the basic information that I couldn't it into the text box I created at the start of my magazine article which turned out to be beneficial to this project after all providing me with an extract to add at the end of my article.

magazine article -

I have added a few text boxes in and amongst my main text to accentuate certain parts of text that might appeal to the reader, this is a technique often used by journalists and magazines to draw in an audience.

I used a few of these boxes and used a different font and colour of text to make the text stand out from the background script.

magazine article - star rating

I have infused a star rating with my article and have given it the best star rating as it is my film and I believe in the quality of the work put into this project. Star ratings are a key part of reviews and articles especially when referring to media.
