Preparation for nine stills of my film script

Collect images of Grand Theft Auto, how I can apply to my script. Embed video of GTA

For my 9 Still frames, I have decided that to fit my macro, I will need to incorporate the video gamed visual style of both films, in order to add my own creativity, I was going to base my nine still frames visually off of the hit game franchise Grand Theft Auto. I chose this as Drive has the idea, storyline and violence based off of GTA, but wanted to include the visual elements of video games into something the viewers could actually see.

I wanted to make it a first person Grand Theft Auto, found in the latest edition of the game, which can be seen in the clip below:


I will take notes of what is onscreen during Grand Theft Auto's first person gameplay, including the Minimap, Weapons and wheel/status bar.

Below are screenshots of Grand Theft Auto and the franchise behind it that I can use as inspiration, presented in mood-board format.



I will incorporate elements such as the HUD (minimap, health, stamina etc.) into my 9 key stills as visual elements of style.

I also believe that this image, found in my moodboard above will help me with how to light my stills as it is very close to the neon lighting found in Drive:

I believe that incorporating the visual aspects and style of Grand Theft Auto into my key frames will help emphasise all of the hyper-realistic violence and make my film look more like Grand Theft Auto than Drive already was.

I will also take the screenshots into consideration when settling upon a final location
