Film Script - Research and Basis

Upon researching the "style over substance" for both Scott Pilgrim VS The World and Drive, I found that the visual styles had a similar aim. Both Scott Pilgrim and Drive feature elements of a video game.

Scott Pilgrim integrates these elements into real life by making violence video game styled by making defeated enemies drop coins, Scott gains a "1Up".
Drive; however, brings video games to life rather than introducing the visual elements. Watching Drive is like watching the theatrics of a video game being played, keeping the little animations out and keeping the footage relatively realistic, aside from the action.

To write my script, I decided to merge the two and make a script that involves the film representing a video game with video game styled elements. To do this, the film will be made in first person, like video games often are played, this will make the action more, incorporating some video game style graphics/animations into the film. This could also demonstrate the childlike mindset of the young Driver.
