Novel-to-film adaptation

A novel-to-film adaptation is the process of transforming a written book into a movie. This involves translating the story, characters, and themes from the book into a visual and auditory format suitable for the screen. Since films have different storytelling tools than books, elements such as detailed inner thoughts or lengthy descriptions are often condensed or shown visually. Adaptations aim to stay true to the original narrative while making creative adjustments for pacing, visual impact, and audience engagement. This process requires careful interpretation to capture the essence of the novel while fitting the storytelling constraints of cinema.
