Workshop title: Film and
Media (Yr 11+12)
From The Great Gatsby to Bridget Jones' Diary, literary texts
have been yoked to film texts in a love-hate marriage since
the cinema began. Using film extracts from some key literary
adaptations, this lecture gives an introduction to reading film
texts and argues the case that the most successful adaptations
are those which eschew common understandings of "fidelity"
to the original text. |
