Setting The music in this cutscene is relaxing and soothing, it gives the feeling of being in a
safe place.

piano and the second part of the music has a
mixture of computerised and orchestrated
instruments such as violin. The piano makes the
music have the safe place feeling.
Mood The first part of the music is relaxing, soothing and has a feeling of security and
being safe. The second part of the music is still slightly relaxing but has more
emotion tied in with it, especially with what is being shown in the cutscene. It
changes to sound more dramatic and changes tone, this suggests a change in what
is happening and it’s important to the story.
The piano is relaxing and the violin shows more
emotion in the music. When the music changes it
makes the scene more powerful and emotional.

the same time something sad such as a sacrifice from one of the characters.
