A radio trailer is a trailer which is given to the audience through the radio and comes through to them through audio, without video. So it is a audio based trailer. Average trends upon radio trailers tend to make them very short, usually around 30 seconds to a minute. Radio trailers use voiceovers to tell the audience about the film. This will usually be a strong sometimes intense voice being played throughout the trailer and whilst this voice is narrating and giving a short synapsis of the film there are usually audio clips from the film like quotes, sound effects and music from the soundtrack of the film. The radio trailer is intend to sell the film to the audience in the form of audio, so the voiceover must be good and interesting to the audience to draw them in.
