A senior analytical course examining novel-to-film adaptation through evidence, interpretation, institutions, ethics, and consequence.
LESSON 01
Define the problem
Analyze how adaptation transforms narration through performance, image, sound, and duration.
ADP-430 analytical lens 1
In Novel-to-Film Adaptation, adaptation transforms narration through performance, image, sound, and duration. This relationship matters because fictional systems distribute authority, constrain choices, and produce consequences that cannot be understood through event recall alone.
A strong analysis of adaptation transforms narration through performance, image, sound, and duration compares evidence across the cited works, identifies plausible alternatives, and limits its conclusion to what those sources support. Academy scholarship adds explanation without recreating protected narrative expression.
Analyze how omission reallocates emphasis rather than merely subtracting information.

Analyze how visual design interprets institutions and relationships for a different medium.
ADP-430 analytical lens 3
In Novel-to-Film Adaptation, visual design interprets institutions and relationships for a different medium. This relationship matters because fictional systems distribute authority, constrain choices, and produce consequences that cannot be understood through event recall alone.
A strong analysis of visual design interprets institutions and relationships for a different medium compares evidence across the cited works, identifies plausible alternatives, and limits its conclusion to what those sources support.

Analyze how comparison should label each continuity instead of merging versions into one fact.
