The document summarizes sound elements from the video game GTA 5 that establish setting, mood, game genre, and narrative. For the setting of a coastal cliff area, sounds like seagulls, cars in the distance, and wind were likely recorded live using field recording software then cleaned up digitally. The calm mood is set with peaceful background music that was taken from an existing song and added to the scene using editing software. Dialogue between characters indicates the game genre incorporates elements of drama, role-playing games, action, and free roaming. Finally, the narrative involved a conversation between protagonists and a hostage they threw in the sea, with all audio recorded of actors in a studio.
