The document discusses the soundtrack for the video game Fifa 15. It describes three different soundtrack elements: the setting, mood, and game genre. For the setting of an intense free kick, the soundtrack builds tension with crowds cheering that get louder and more intense. The mood creates an intense atmosphere with fast-paced sounds that build pressure until a moment of silence right before the kick. As a sports simulation game, the soundtrack follows genre conventions with realistic crowd noise and grass sounds to immerse the player.

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 The setting is upbeat and energetic with the pressure build up around the player
who is about to take the free kick.
The sound all around is of the fans cheering and
the tune getting more and more intense as they
go on. This is to show the pressure that is building
up for the player that is about to take the free
kick. I think that the sound was created in a
controlled environment with somebody stomping
on a patch of fake grass to get the sound effect of
the player running and I think that they went to a
stadium on match day and record the sound that
was all around them to get the sound of the
crowd. Then once they had got the sounds they
edited them to be exactly how they wanted them
to be.
Mood The mood is intense and upbeat with the sense that there is a lot of pressure in the
air. This is really made true with the sounds that are featured in this scene.
The sounds are very fast paced which builds the
intensity of the entire situation. Then all of a
sudden just as the player is about to strike the ball
all of the sounds around him stop which makes it
seem like everything has come down to that kick
and that moment which is put into practise well
by the sounds that are used.
Game genre Sports, Simulation This games sound follows the list that you would
expect to see in this sort of game. With the sound
of the crowd and the player stepping on the grass
it really does well to keep with the simulation
aspect of the game.
Narrative The goal is to score more goals than you opponent by using the players skill and Like a lot of simulation and sports games the

intuitive thinking to allow them to out manoeuvre whoever they may be facing. sound is created by everything that is happening
around them and this game immerses you within
the action and really allows to feel like you are
there and you are about to kick that ball and
attempt to score.
