7. I think many successful films are adaptations because they already have fans. The original books or stories are popular, so more people want to watch the movie. This makes the movie less risky for companies. For example, Harry Potter was already very famous before the films.
回覆刪除That is why many studios choose to adapt well-known stories.

回覆刪除8. I prefer watching a film adaptation before reading the book because I usually watch movies just to relax and enjoy myself. Reading a book with too much text can be tiring for me.

回覆刪除Q1:I think film is an art form, just like music and painting, because it expresses emotions and ideas through images and sound.
1. I agree that film is an art form like music and painting because a film is like a performance. It even can combine both. For example, the music of the film can make people sink in the condition. The color of the film can be astonishing. Therefore, I think the film is exactly an art form.
回覆刪除Q7. Successful films are often adaptations because they start with familiar stories, reduce commercial risk, and expand existing narrative worlds.

英三A 411208704 楊宸羽 1 .Yes, I agree that film is an art form like music or painting.
回覆刪除Film allows people to express ideas and emotions through images, sound, and acting. Directors use lighting, camera angles, music, and editing to create meaning, just like painters use color and musicians use melody. Film also combines different art forms, such as writing, performance, and visual design. Even though some movies are made for entertainment or profit, they still require creativity and artistic skills.
2. Film is both influenced and influences. Humans like to mimic romanticised versions of reality to cope with their own struggles, the same way they may create these romanticised storylines. Take the Tiantic for example. The event was real but the storyline was a creation for cinema. It represents class divide, and the socio-economic state of the time where rich and poor were not allowed to associate themselves with each other for various reasons, such as social pressure. 温凱儀

2. Yes. I’ve heard one story of the recent Disney live action movie “The Little Mermaid “. The actress who acted princess is a black girl. This changed the original version of the story, but gave a lot of little black girls hope. There was a little black girl watched movie and said “ I can be the princess too. This changes the stereotype of the princess impression of people
回覆刪除1.I absolutely agree. Film is often called the "Seventh Art" because it is a "Gesamtkunstwerk" (a total work of art). It synthesizes music, painting (composition/lighting), literature (screenplay), and performance. Like a painting, it uses visual cues to evoke emotion, but it adds the dimension of time and sequence.

回覆刪除A film adaptation is considered an interpretation rather than a simple translation because film and literature are different media. Filmmakers must make choices about what to include, emphasize, or omit when transforming a written text into images and sounds. Elements such as narration or inner thoughts cannot be directly transferred and must be reimagined through cinematic techniques. Therefore, an adaptation reflects the filmmaker’s interpretation of the original text rather than a mechanical copy.
This is Q5!
刪除1.Yes, I strongly agree. I think watching films and listening to music are similar because these art forms all brings me motivation and inspiration, allowing my mind to be more focused, creative and productive. In my opinion, these art forms are some of the most enjoyable things to do in my free time..
回覆刪除11. I’ll choose a loose adaptation one, because in my opinion, the adaption is not just a variation of text itself, it now also has some of the adapter inside it, and i would like to see the adapter’s interpretation about the text, and by using loose adaption, adapter can have more space to play with.
