Sound The narrator was male and spoke in standard

English, he was also calm. Diagetic sound of the cars whizzing past. Non diagetic music which is used as a music bed

beneath narration and interviews. Crowds chanting. Current music at the time like synth. Sound of a scoreboard ticking over. Music to create tension and to put emphasis on

the topic.
