Clearly state what production technique(s) you think have
been used to create specific soundtrack elements
Halo is set in a world where humanity is at war with aliens or as they are known in
the game ‘the covenant.’ The player is thrust into the role of the greatest Spartan
warrior alive ‘Master Chief’
The mood of the game is denial it is about how Spartans were created to crush any
human rebellion but ended up saving humanity. It talks about how weapons are
broken. It talks about how Spartans are the next step in humanity.
The game genre is a sci-fi futuristic space shooter made clear in this clip when the
female character talks about different human worlds falling in war.
The narration is purely through the female and male character interaction; it is
almost like an interrogation at one point the female questions who the man is as
they recap the Spartans.
0:56 – Ultimate Soldier
