Setting The cutscene seems to be taking place on an ancient-fantasy battlefield. This is because of the cutscene having sounds of sword fighting and large crowds having stereotypical screams of armies running into combat (0:36). Also there is narration that hints to a fantasy battle ‘known only as the grand wizard’ (0:30). At (0:40) we can hear the line ‘even though the wizard king is so undeniably cool’ I am confused about the setting. Maybe this could be a story that a child is saying. This idea is supported by the name ‘Kupa Keep’ (0:19).

Field recordings would have been used to gather the raw sound effects, which are then modified into sounds that are put into the game. The modifications would have been done with in-studio software. The narration would have been recorded in-studio.

Mood The mood is confusing. This is because the cutscene opens up with the sound of theatrical music and a bloody battle. But however, when a place is named ‘Kupa Keep’ and (0:19) it seems childish. Also at (0:40) a line in the narration is ‘even though the wizard king is so undeniably cool’. This line continues to make me confused about the game and how the mood is supposed to make me feel.

Game genre The game would be medieval-fantasy. This is because of the start, where there are clear sounds of an ancient battle. Moreover there are referrals to something called ‘the Drow-Elf armies and ‘wizardry’. This game may also be childish. This is because the wizard king is referred to as ‘even though the wizard king is so undeniably cool’.

Narrative Throughout the entire cutscene the entire narrative for the sitting, mood and game genre is ambient recordings, directional recordings and narration.
