Game Title
Hitman : Absolution
Provide detailed descriptions from chosen examples that establish…
Setting
Clearly state what production technique(s) you think have
been used to create specific soundtrack elements
They probably used an ambient sound effect.
The setting of the game could be set in the present day as towards the end of the
audio you hear two people talking in a court room, one being the judge and the
other, the sheriff.
Mood
The mood of the game seems quite dark as in the first part; you can hear rain after
all of the gunfire.
Game genre
The game is a shooter because right near the beginning of the video gun fire is
heard and shortly after it is heard again.
Narrative
The first piece of narrative that you hear is two men talking over a radio and then
after that and even longer scene of narrative. Then there is another scene with a
man and a woman talking and then finally two other people talking in a large, open
room.
They could of used a pre-recorded rain effect or
went out on a rainy day and recorded that.
The gun fire would have been recorded on a firing
field.
The voices for the open room probably would
have had an ambience effects added on to it.
