Clearly state what production technique(s) you think have
been used to create specific soundtrack elements
Setting
The cut scene is set in an open field with a helicopter ready to pick them up after a
tough mission. It is set about mid day with a lot of dust flying around and nothing
else in the field except for a few trees and the advancing enemy soldiers. The sound
creates a good atmosphere where you can tell everything that is happening around
in the scene.
Mood
The mood is quite quick tempo but the sound also gives it a sad mood when you get
shot and your friend gets shot as well but everything is very rushed and there is not
much time to sit back and take everything in that is happening around you.
Game genre
First Person Shooter
Narrative
The narrative for this is that there is a bad guy who has been working undercover on
the team that you the player has been playing on and then he sends you out on a
life risking mission to retrieve a piece of intelligence that will complete his plan but
you don't know the reason behind him wanting this intel. Once you have recieved it
you are getting ready for evacuation and as you think that you are safe you and your
in game partner get shot by the uncover bad guy. Then everything starts to go
blurry.
The cut scene starts at 0:58 in the video and
finishes at 2:15.
At 58 seconds all that you can hear is 2 people
talking and a helicopter with the music starting up
in the background.
You also can hear a lot of heavy breathing
because you have just been shot at and you have
been running for a long time.
At 1:03 you hear a gunshot then once your screen
goes red that is when you know that it is you that
has been shot.
Then a second gunshot is heard but on screen you
see ghost get shot right in front of your blood
soaked eyes.
The music at 1:07 starts to really be heard and it
is a sad tone but also is the sound of betrayal.
You hear him send his orders through and you get
picked up them everything goes blurry as if you
were passing out.
You hear petrol being poured on to people and
the ground.
The music continues throughout the clip and stays
in the same tone all the way as you see everything
that you have worked so hard for start
disappearing in front of your eyes and everything
looks to be over for you.
