EN330 Books to Box Office
This course examines the intersection of film and literary texts. Clearly, fiction is a go-to source for film makers, and in this course, we examine what happens when short stories and novels are made into film, considering he ways in which we approach film and literary texts differently. After reading and viewing, we will analyze at length the two genres, asking questions like: What shifts from written text to screen? How is tone translated from written text to screen? Is the screen version faithful to the written text, and if not, why not? What directorial choices get made and why? No background in film studies is needed for this course.
