Adapting Written Works for the Screen - video

Media arts instructor Dan Watanabe talks about film adaptations of books, screenwriting tips, what makes for a great movie with examples of successes and failures. Adaptation is not just telling the story in a different way, Watanabe reminds us. The needs of a novel are different from the needs of a movie, and a very good example of one doesn't always translate into a great example of the other.
