Salford City College Eccles Sixth Form Centre BTEC Extended Diploma in GAMES DESIGN Unit 73: Sound For Computer Games Game Title WOW- wrath of the lich king Provide detailed descriptions from chosen examples that establish… Setting Mood Game genre Narrative Clearly state what production technique(s) you think have been used to create specific soundtrack elements In this cut scene it shows Arthas, the main boss of the World of Warcraft (One of the biggest MMORPG's in the world) expansion pack Wrath of the Lich King, your character has reached level 80 and is doing one the final raid for the expansion pack The mood of the cutscene, due to a very hard boss battle just before it, is both triumphant and slightly sad. As you finally take down the main enemy of the game (so far…) you watch as the Lich King leaves him and he finds peace as he dies in the arms of his ghostly father. However, there is also a hint of uncertainty as the father tells Tirion (and your character) that there must always be a Lich King. Who would be next? Finally, the mood changes to relief and regret as Bolvar takes the crown, damning himself to a life frozen on his throne controlling the scourge. World of Warcraft is a very specific game type: An MMORPG (Massive Multiplayer Online Role Play Game). It is one of (or even the biggest) of its kind and is now currently working on its 5th expansion pack, Warlords of Draenor. The expansion packs are as follows (in released order) The Burning Crusade, Wrath of the Lich King, Cataclysm, Mists of Pandaria and (soon to be released) Warlords of Draenor. It contains a hefty amount of lore, as well as numerous amounts of enemies, levels, story lines, races, wars, quests and abilities to go through. Lich King is dying , and his father lets him die peacefully, warning your ally (Tirion) that there must always be a Lich King, and finally watching Tirion place the crown of the Lich King upon BolvarFordragon, a burning man, not only to soothe his pain but to regain control of the scourge (the mindless undead). There is a lot of music to give a sense of setting and surrounding. Thus music used is orchestra styled music giving a sense of fantasy and wonder. The mood is set by music with a range of orchestra music from sad slow paced music to dramatic powerful music. The sound created can be associated with the game genre due to the fantasy styled music and the dialog is to do with the game and its fantasy adventure theme. the narrative is dialog based mostly which can be created in a controlled environment such as a recording studio.
