These are the photographs we took during the recording process of our radio trailer....

These are screengrabs of the editing process of the radio trailer...

These are screenshots taken from the editting stages of our radio trailer, it was editted in a different programme to the documentary called Adobe Soundbooth, and like Adobe Premire Pro it made it easy to create a professional radio trailer. We were taking clips from the documentary and simply removing the video to leave us with the audio. At this point we would carefully edit the sound levels in order to have a smooth sounding outcome, with no point being too loud or quiet...

Here we had to carefully edit the ends of the clips that we had put together in order for them to run smoothly togther, so zooming into the timeline gave us this advantage to do so.

This screenshot shows the final edit of our radio trailer finished.
