Juxtaposition is when two opposites clash against each
other. In sound production, this would be when the soundtrack clashes with is
on the screen at the time, For example, a screamer heavy metal song covering
footage of a rose blooming or a lullaby while people are dying from being shot.
A clear example of this would be one of the trailers for the Game ‘Dead Space’
This is a good example as the soundtrack is of a female
singing a children’s lullaby, which contrasts to the game play itself, which
shows blood and mutilated corpses and murder. This allows the song to stand out
from other soundtracks and that is why with this game, this version of the
lullaby is seen as terrifying and always associated with this franchise and
that the game is made remember-able for this element of being non-traditional
and juxtaposing other games.
