- 1. Salford City College Eccles Sixth Form Centre BTEC Extended Diploma in GAMES DESIGN Unit 73: Sound For Computer Games Game Title Dead island 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 At the beginning of the clip you hear serene but tragic type music and sounds of screaming this would set the scene for something like a horror game where the characters are running away from someone or something. The sounds of screaming good have been create using a high quality microphone so that when it was played back it would come cross clear and loud so that not further editing would have been needed to enhance the sound Mood The mood in the clip suggests that it is a sad and helpless mood put across by the music that is used to create this particular mood also the mood of fear is put across by the panting of what seems to be a little girl running away from a hoard to show her fear and panic. To create this music I think they used an orchestra to for the music used in the video clip I then think that the soundtrack would have been then put into a sound editing software so that it wouldn’t completely takeover the sounds used in the video. Game genre The horror genre is shown through the small amount of sound used mixed with the sounds of snarls and panting and screams this would lead to suggest that the game will have a lot of jump scare and having you run from your enemy. The snarls and panting would of been made using a high quality microphone and edited later to change pitch and depth and maybe distance so it isn’t so direct and closer then it should be. Narrative The narrative in this video clip would suggest that the games story is about surviving a zombie apocalypse and being able to fight them back when needing to. Also I think it will be about escaping as it would seem that the running sounds show there trying to escape from the horror at large. The music suggests that the story will be a desperate battle and struggle to be free. the soundtrack would have been created for this story so that it could have fit perfectly into the narrative of the game and I think the production techniques used for the soundtrack would have been in a sound editing system so that it would have been made quieter to set more of a mood for the story
