L3 Extended Diploma in Games Design Unit 73: Sound for Computer Games

L3 Extended Diploma in Games Design Unit 73: Sound for Computer Games P1 A.    mood and atmosphere 1.       Destiny: The Taken King Original Soundtrack https://youtu.be/woNG-Sscntg It is a dramatic bit of music as it is used for the final boss fight in the taken king DLC.  It works well with the game as it is a great boss fight which is a difficult one to do and the music fits each bit of the fight as there are different stages and if you die you go back to the previous stage. As the boss is one of the most powerful beings to exist and he has lots of enemies to send your way at the same time.        2.       Skyrim Theme Dovahkiin https://youtu.be/AVy7YPNP_zI It is dramatic and has one of the shots from the game in the song and it is used for the fight at the end of the game. Sometimes even people that don’t play the game know it’s the Skyrim theme as it is iconic and one of the best themes ever.  3.       Pac Man Original Theme https://youtu.be/BxYzjjs6d1s It is the old school song that we hear at the time we start the game up on any device as this has been the same and has not been the same as everyone knows it is the pack man theme. It is the most recognisable theme and if you keep dyeing it gets annoying and it makes you angry and frustrated and makes the game harder.     4.       Battlefield 1 Trailer theme song https://youtu.be/DYYO1VZOag4 The game was recently released and it is one of the most popular games at the moment and everyone loves the trailer for it as it is the most hyped game and it is good game as it goes back in time to world war one  and the music shows that.     5.       Classic Donkey Kong Arcade https://youtu.be/EhFV5-qbbIw It is cheerful and happy music but it is also really annoying and fits my personality perfectly. It also fits the game perfectly as you play. What is Foley? Relating to or concerned with the addition of recorded sound effects after the shooting of a film. What is Timbre?

He is a character in Destiny he gives the player info on what  is going on. He is also one of the main character in the game and he is there to to give info in detail on what is happening and to make the game more enjoyable. This is speech and he brains lots of funny moments. 

















The Wilhelm scream  https://youtu.be/cdbYsoEasio

IT is used in lots of great films when some one dies or gets badly hurt. The scream sound is one of the most popular sounds  in many films and even in some games like in star wars in the Lego games and the films this helps to get the message across to the players and the viewers. This is symbolism as it tells you in sound that some one has died.
