Radio Trailer Analysis: The Great Gatsby

This radio trailer is most similar to the Romance genre of our film.

Link to radio trailer (skip to 1:31)



Voice Over
The voice over is used to inform the audience of featured music, actors/main character (Leonardo DiCaprio) and information of previous popular films the director has directed (Romeo and Juliet, Moulin Rouge). These are all important because they help the audience to recognise previous popularity and perhaps 'trust' in the previous success to encourage them to watch the film. Additionally, the voice over also gives the cinema release date (May 16, 2013) so that listeners can take note and see it accordingly.


Dialogue
Featured dialogue taken directly from the film itself is used to give create interest in the audience and make them want to go and see the film because of their intrigue.

"No amount of fire can challenge the fairy tale he had stored up in his heart."
"I had the uneasy feeling that he was guarding secrets."
