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 Setting in the game is the same as the rest of the game in a post-apocalyptic world
where the majority of the population are zombies. The setting in this trailer is that
there is a man who is trying to blank out what is happening around him with music
and is infected himself. This trailer uses music to mask what is happening around
him.
0:34 – The sound increases when the volume goes
up on the phone.
0:50– The music says ‘I’m a bomb I’m about to
blow up.’ Which is what’s happening.
Mood The mood in the trailer is false happiness until around 1:45 where the infection
begins to spread and it’s too late to do anything when he looks down at his arm.
1:45– This is where you hear the music say ‘Join
the band’ as he becomes a zombie like everyone
else
Game genre The games genre is an open world survival horror game but that is not displayed in
the trailer; all you know from the trailer is it is a zombie game.
2:14 – The man in the trailer fully turns and there
is no ambient noise just the zombie groans
showing he has fully changed.
Narrative N/A Just Music
