The music is soundtracks and songs pre rendered
and not an orchestra performing to a mic. This
makes the music very clear. The volume has been
altered to go from nothing, to fading in on a very
low volume to louder which creates the mood of
panic.
Sci-Fi, super heroes
The dialogue makes it very clear that the game is about DC superheroes. Dialogue

the scene. The Joker goes on to say provocative stuff part of which includes him
saying ‘’That’s why I like you Superman’’ Which reveals who the third character is.
The joker is now thrown across the room and the music changes to being slow. It
starts to build up as Joker says ‘’You think you can have a family, that locking me up
will magically reform me and they’ll be safe. So big, so dumb’’ followed by a giggle
and ‘’ After Joker is finished saying that, the music is changed and Joker’s voice
indicates he is being held up by his neck. The next and final dialogue of the scene

turn all that into sounds that can be understood
by the listener without even watching the video
output is quite a task and I this case its been done
very well. For dialogues both directional and

explosions and dialogue over lapping when the
space (room) is bigger ambient recordings are
used.
