Provide detailed descriptions from chosen examples that establish… Clearly state what production technique(s) you think have
been used to create specific soundtrack elements
Setting The setting of the game seems to be modern day or in the future as there are
electrical sounds (0:18 – 0:21) and robotic footsteps. (1:11 – 3:06)
Robotic footsteps may have been recorded or
made on a computer software and electric sound
would have been recorded or digitally made.
Mood The mood of the game seems quite dark as someone in the idle of the clip says “You
will die like a vermin. I will hunt you down. At the end of the earth I will find you.
You skin charred and your fats rendered. Your kind exterminated. In the end, I will
feed your flesh, to the furnace!” (2:03 – 2:21) This cut-scene alone makes it feel like
this character is talking to the player directly.
Recorded voices
Game genre The genre of the game may be a shooter, as right at the beginning there are knife
sounds (0:13) and then a few seconds later a loud electrical sound (0:18 – 0:21).
Then at for the majority of the clip, robotic foot- steps (1:11 – 3:06) and also gunfire
is heard at (1:49 – 2:13)
The knife may have been recorded while being
sheathed and the electric sound would have been
recorded or digitally made. The guns would have
been recorded at a shooting range.
Narrative Two characters at the beginning are talking in a foreign language and then the final
line of the cut scene one of them talk in English. (0:25 – 1:05)
