novel adaptation (film)

A novel adaptation in film is a movie that is based on a written novel or book. It involves transforming the story, characters, and themes from the literary work into a visual and auditory experience, often with changes for cinematic storytelling. This process includes interpreting descriptive prose into visual scenes, dialogue, and performances, aiming to capture the essence of the original while making it engaging for viewers. Adaptations can vary from faithful reproductions to more creative reinterpretations, but their primary goal is to translate a beloved or significant story from page to screen.
