descriptions from chosen examples that establish Clearly state what
production technique(s) you think have been used to create specific
soundtrack elements Setting ? The first section of the cutscene,
sounds like the scene is set in somewhat of an aircraft as you can
hear a propeller as well as other aircraft going past. ? After that
there seems to be a jump cut to a garden or a park I think this
because I can hear laughter of kids and I can also hear barking of
a dog or dogs and also I can hear the sizzling of a barbecue ? In
the last section of the cutscene the sudden laughter of children
changes and goes into again a roar of an engine of an aircraft. ? I
believe that to create the aircraft propellor sounds for the
aircraft, the person recording it would of used both ambient
directional sound recorders to get a feel for the environmental
sounds around the propeller and with the directional recorder that
would of given a more focused audio on the propeller. ? To create
the sounds of the children laughing, the dog barking and the
sizzling of the barbecue, I believe that the laughing from the
children and the barking from the dog would have been produced in a
isolated area as there is a little echo on their voices however for
the barbecue I think it was produced by using a directional sound
as there is no echo on the sound and no background sounds. Mood ?
The mood in the beginning section starts of by giving the sense of

believe the music in the background has been made electronically
via the use of a sound engineering software however the sound could
also be created by the use of a

used could be a violin or a piano. Game genre From the start the
viewer can instantly tell that it is a war game as the sounds from
the aircraft however when the laughter from the children comes it
makes the viewer wonder if it is actually a war game or an
adventure game. The propellers will have been recorded through the
use of a directional and ambient microphones the children would
have been recorded in a isolated place to give it more echo on
their voices. Narrative From the beginning the viewer can hear a
person speaking sounding like they are in a trance, but the
protagonist starts to talk about his dream he is having about
himself in a garden I believe that this was created in a sound
proof room where no background noise can be picked up.
