Provide detailed descriptions from chosen examples that establish…
Clearly state what production technique(s) you think have
been used to create specific soundtrack elements
The audio setting is somewhere remote, there is only a few people around,
Talking dramatically, This makes you feel distant and strange
You get this feeling by their only being 2 people
speaking at a time and only about 4 different
people through the whole scene
The mood that this piece gives off is eerie, Almost depressive, It makes the listener
feel distant and curious (Without visuals)
The music really sets the moos for this one, It is
soft but strangely serious and there is a subliminal
sense of urgency
The genre you get from this piece is RPG because something fixed and main to a
story has happened,
You can tell that this is an RPG because something
has happened and now almost immediately after
doing so, Some sort of decision needs to be made
to fix something
Someone in this scene has obviously died, But now there is a decision to be make, A
tough one, Something that is every key to the games future
Is it obvious that someone has died even if you
don’t watch the video, because one of the voices
is faint and then dies away
