First, select a film to study. Refer as specifically as you can to the actors' movements, words, and dress as revealed by the camera. Describe the overall mood of this scene. You are expected to answer the questions in part three by yourself. To help you choose, I have placed on reserve a list of books available in our library which have been adapted for the screen.
Most bookstores have special displays of books that inspired recent films.
Read the story and view the film. Since you will need to see the movie several times, you may prefer to get the film on laser disk or videotape. Then write a thoughtful comparison of the two works. Your comparison should demonstrate what you have learned this semester about films, and particularly about making films from written fiction.
