CoP 3 Research: Deus Ex: human revolution

Deus Ex:Human Revolution is a cyberpunk themed role playing game. It is set in the year 2027, where multinational corporations have grown in power beyond the control of national governments.  The game follows Adam Jenson, a security manager at Sarif Industries, a growing biotechnology firm.
Deus Ex game trailer here.

I'm looking at this game because this is where my main inspiration came from for my film trailer.
I absolutely love the cybernetics and human augmentation in this game.  Looking at the storytelling in the game it is interesting as it could easily become a animation film, which shows that at the core of storytelling it's roughly all the same sadly I don't have anything to back up my statement for the dissertation about this point.

On the other hand looking at this for my practical project is useful as most comments from the critical analysis asked for a theme to run through my work so far. Deus Ex uses a yellow tint through the entire game! This I find interesting as it adds to the aesthetics of the game, however in a version of the game you can take off the yellow tint and this is what it looks like!


Above we can see the difference between, the directors cut without the yellow tint and the original game.  The left hand side looks more realistic, however the right is more stylised towards a noir look.
I prefer the right as it has a style which makes it look unique compared to the left, therefore when I choose a theme colour to add to the my film trailer it will have a slight tint to make it look unique and stylised!

I will need to look into colours in film in order to find which would be the best colour to use!
