What to consider
INCIDENTAL
This is music composed to accompany the action of a drama or to fill intervals between scenes, i.e. Music can brighten a scene, create tension, or underscore the sadness or horror of an event.
ATMOSPHERIC
Atmospheric sound is intended to evoke a particular emotional tone or aesthetic quality.
VOICE
The spoken dialogue within the specific media i.e. actor, voiceover, narrator etc.
ARTIFICAL
The fabrication of a sound by an engineer. For example in the context of spectator sports, artificial noise is the use of artificial sound-making devices to show the audience's support.
AMBIENCE
Ambient sounds are designed to enhance the mood or atmosphere. Used along with sound effects and music, they add more depth to a film, game, website etc.
CHARACTER
INTERACTION
PACING
ENVIRONMENT
Extra notes: I can supply some documents explaining Q1 if needed. I will let the write choose two games to compare.
Thanks.
