  1. Literature to Film Introductory Statements: The Basics

  2. Why study adaptation? • “The Study of literature casts light on the meanings in the film, and the study of the film can illuminate the full value of the literature.” • - Ronald Perrier, From Fiction to Film

  3. Objectives • Understand the techniques used in film making. • Demonstrate the above understanding through discussions, presentations, and an individual inquiry writing project. • Know the limitations that filmmakers encounter when adapting a novel to a script, and filming this script. • Understand and use different lenses to critique literature and film. • Compare the differences between the process of adapting a novel or a short story to film. • Research the process of adapting a particular text. • Develop and deliver presentations about research findings/the adaptive process.

  4. What is your most memorable story? • On your notecard, take a few minutes to write down the following: • What is your favorite movie? • What made it memorable for you? • Do you know if it is based on a movie/short story? • Has it been remade? If so, what is different about the two versions? Which do you like better? Why? • If it has not been remade, what would you change about the film and why?

  5. Pair/Share • Share your choice of movie with the person sitting next to you (on either side). • While you are listening to them share, jot down a few notes about what they say and be prepared to introduce your partner to the class.

  6. What are your hopes? • On the back of your card (just for me) please write down one thing you are hoping to get out of this class. Please make it a bit more profound than simply, “a passing grade”. I really want to know, so tell me!
