Adaptation
Film adaptations have been created based off of the foundations established from other sources, such as novels, plays, pieces of fiction or non-fiction, graphic novels, scripture, previous films, and other forms of written work.
Faithful
adaptations retain the tone or mood of the original without a strict retelling of every detail (Malchow, 2001).
Displaced
adaptations
will alter the setting while keeping the
theme and some content mainly intact (Malchow, 2001).
Acculturated
adaptations transpose the narrative, language, and setting into different cultural context (Malchow, 2001).
Political
Radical Homage
adaptations
offer an interpretation of a text in order to emphasise a political viewpoint (Malchow, 2001).
adaptations appropriate some aspect(s) of the original and create an entirely new work from it (Malchow, 2001).
