Clearly state what production technique(s) you think have been used to create specific soundtrack elements

Setting The game appears to be set in a city in which many street races are taking place in. Sound of fast cars, police sirens and civilian response make this game sound like a racing game.

Mood The mood of the trailer makes it seem quite lively, mostly due to the high speeds of the vehicles, police activity and public response.

The loud roar of car engines and the fact that every second of the trailer involves noise or car engines make it seem lively.

Game genre The game sounds like a racing game which also involves police so it could be a crime game.

Fast moving cars easily make this game a racing genre.

Narrative There isn’t much narrative apart from the occasional civilian response to the fast moving vehicles.

Civilians sounding amazed and confused as to what is happening make the events seem mysterious.
