Unit 73: Sound for Computer Games
Advanced Warfare (Jack Trammell – Compelled)
The game maker has used this music because it builds suspense
and you do not know when the song will kick in fully. The music did work
because as it is a military shooter game, it’s always full of suspense and the
music adds more.
Kingdom Hearts 2 (Dearly Beloved)
I believe the game maker has used this piece of music because
it fits in with the game play and sets the mood for the game. I would not
choose any other music for the game because this ne fits perfectly
Music and sound FX is one of the most important aspects of a
game, without the music personally I would find it hard to keep an interest in
the game.
A wave form is a curve showing the shape of a wave at a given
time
A Foley is a concern
about an addition of a recorded sound effect, the concern can be anything from
not liking the sound of it to thinking it doesn’t fit.
Timbre is the
quality of a musical sound or voice as distinct from its pitch and intensity.
Part 2:
When you
are playing the campaign mode on call of duty, the only times in game when you
hear music is when something is about to go down, such as someone getting shot,
breaking into somewhere or just in a gun battle. The game has been made so that
as soon as you get into gun battles it will start to play music to add
suspense.

The sound designer/engineer may have used this music to add
suspense and to put life into the game, because a game without music would be
boring, it’s the music that pumps you up to play the game. One thing I have
noticed is that the whole game is able to use.
