film adaptation

Film adaptation refers to the process of transforming a written work, such as a novel, short story, play, or comic book, into a motion picture. This involves interpreting the source material, translating its themes, characters, and narrative into a cinematic format suitable for the screen. Film adaptations may retain the original story closely or take creative liberties, resulting in variations that can lead to significant changes in plot, character development, or setting. The goal of a film adaptation is to reach and engage a new audience while preserving the essence of the original work. Successful adaptations can highlight the strengths of both mediums, allowing for new artistic expressions and interpretations.
