The document analyzes the soundtrack of a cut scene from the game Battlefield 3. It describes the setting as an urban street surrounded by skyscrapers, with the mood being frustration and anger as two men attempt to kill each other. The genre of the game is action, and the narrative is limited at first but increases at the end of the cut scene. The analysis identifies the production technique of using a computer program like Reaper to create the background music, noting how the music matches and enhances the setting, mood, and genre described.

Clearly state what production technique(s) you think have
been used to create specific soundtrack elements
Setting
The setting is an urban street surrounded by skyscrapers and onlookers to the cut
scene event.
I think that a computer program such as reaper
was used to create the background music in this
scene. The setting and the music go well together
because the music is fast and gradually gets
louder as the fight gets more intense.
Mood
The mood is frustration and anger because two men are attempting to kill each
other.
The music adds anxiety to the mood of the cut
scene because the player doesn’t know who is
going to win the fight.
Game genre
The game genre Is action.
The music goes well with the genre because the
music is fast and loud just as the game itself is
played.
Narrative
The narrative of the scene is limited up until the end where a man is talking to the
player.
The narrative of the scene is little at the beginning
because the two people talking are trying to kill
each other. But by the end of the cut scene the
narrative takes up a majority of the noise.
