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 On Pandora where you are hired by Handsome jack after the first games hero
uncover a vault and released eridum and he thinks there a bigger vault so he hires
vault hunters off to kill them so that he be the first to the vault
Its Pop music where its not does not create any
mood it just there so you enjoy the game more it
doesn’t effect the overall setting the music is
from an actual band they just go the licensing for
them to use the song
Mood Sort of Dramatic Cartoonish Several main characters working together The mood is happy but its so there is not a great
mood shift it the same thought out the game
expect for when jack the villain loses something
precious to him meant to be a smooth and
mellow game
Game genre Action
shooter
fps
For being a first person shooter its awfully calm to
most of the rest even with all the explosions
meant to be an actual game with a story not a
jumped up adrenaline rush
Narrative You a vault hunter hired by jack just kill you apparently his attempt failed and now
you are stuck on Pandora and found by a claptrap and you are guided by A
mysterious women who’s an Ai in the first game and An actual person in the second
who turns out to be the main villains daughter who also a siren so you she helps you
find other vault hunter so you can without knowing Assist in taking out the main
rebel town in the game but you manage to survive by use of Very powerful Siren
who Teleports the whole city elsewhere so you go hunting for this vault he’s hunting
for Taking your revenge in the process because he would die to protect the vault
from you
There’s very little music used in the narrative is
mainly there so it is not silence thought out the
end of sentences but it’s a not a song like the rest
of the game is more like a repeating soft tone
