been used to create specific soundtrack elements
Setting
It is set in a graveyard in North Yankton. The
reason why Trevor and Michael are up there is
because Trevor wants to see who was buried
instead of Michael.
North Yankton is a very cold and snowy place,
therefore you can hear the sound of Michaels feet
squelching in the snow. The music in the
background is also very ominous which could be
seen as this because of the setting in a graveyard.
Mood
The mood is very tense. It shows a sign of mystery
with Trevor as he is not sure who is in the coffin.
As the cut scene goes on and Trevor finds out it
was his old friend in the coffin he gets more angry
with Michael and it later involves a very tense
scene which involves Michael and Trevor pointing
their guns at each other.
The music in the background also symbolises the
tenseness of the scene. It also has very long
breaks in-between certain characters dialogue,
especially at the end which shows how each
character was feeling as they were pointing their
guns at each other.
Game genre
GTA V is a game that is an open world action
game which is based around the criminal lifestyle
of three characters.
The genre of a criminal is slightly shown as in this
scene, they have a shovel digging up a grave and
they are very violent with each other.

Narrative
The dialogue is very tense and you can tell the
anger in Trevor with his words being said bunched
up together. Also you can tell that Michael is
worried about what Trevor is doing due to him
being very rushed with his words as he is trying to
talk Trevor out of it.
The dialogue also expresses the anger in Trevor as
he is swearing and using harsh sounds in his voice
as he is trying to contain the anger.
