Overview

Work of art arouses responses and reactions in us. More often than not we want to tell the story again but with our own take on it. We want to redo a poem or a painting to give a new perspective to a well accepted original version. At other times we ask the what if question to the source material. What emerges from these responses is an adaptation of the original material.

This session discusses adaptation in the context of Films. What is adaptation? What makes it work? Why do we keep hearing of failed adaptation? Well then what satisfies both the reader and the audience? How does one go about it?

We discuss all of this in four hours along with different examples and a detailed one. We also try to arrive at a methodology to approach adaptation.

THIS WEBINAR WILL ADDRESS QUESTIONS LIKE:

Have you wondered why the films never work। as well as books?!
Have you ever thought why then do masters go for adaptations?!
What really is adaptation?
Are there any good examples?
What about the process?

REQUIREMENTS TO ATTEND:
