Adaptations to Film

Catalog description

This course explores the process of adaptation from one medium to another. Students will study adaptation from multiple viewpoints, considering questions of fidelity, interpretation, and medium-specific considerations. By studying how adaptation shapes narrative, character, style, and ultimately meaning, students will gain insights into the complex relationship between source material and film, the relationship between readership and spectatorship, and the role that the publishing and cinema industries have in shaping adaptations to film.
