For your essay, as discussed on May 20th: while you are reading, or after you have read a text and viewed the film adaptation, you should make notes as to which narrative details are kept, dropped, and added, and then decide whether the film is a close, loose, or intermediate interpretation. However, that determination is not the end point but the starting point—a springboard to launch you into more advanced inquiries. Once you identify the type of interpretation, the next step is to:
look back at the changes the adapter(s) made, the alternatives available to him or her at the time, and the consequences of the choices made.
Asking questions about the adapter’s choices will lead you to the wide variety of concerns addressed by contemporary film studies.
More specifically, ask yourselves what are some of the technical, narrative, stylistic, historical, ideological and spectatorial contexts that are important in understanding the differences between the source text and its adaptation?
Research Assignment Instructions – Essay: due July 8th, 2021
Addressing all the questions raised by film studies is beyond the scope of any one study, therefore, you should consider many but focus primarily on a detailed analysis of text and film, and then move on to whatever larger context(s) seem most relevant after studying your notes. For example, you could choose to focus on one of the following and ask:
Which narrative elements from the text were easy to transfer to film and which were difficult? Were the characters flat or round? Was the setting (geographical place and historical time) changed? Was a 3-act structure used in either version? Were there significant structural changes? Did the plot change: traditional to non-traditional/episodic, or vice-versa? Did the narrative voice/perspective change: 1st person / 3rd person choice has changed? Is the narration omniscient or limited/restricted in the original, and has this changed in the adaptation? Is the narrator making judgements on characters or actions (intrusive) or is he/she relaying information neutrally, without evaluation (unintrusive)? Any one (or two, if suitably linked) of these elements could be the point of departure for a strong essay!
You could choose a more thematic approach instead. For example, why was this text—or this kind of text—chosen to be adapted during this period of history? What was the dominant ideology operating in the novel? And in the film? What were the main themes in the two works? Did any of these change in the adaptation? Did the literary genre narrow down or open up choices for the filmmaker? Some research will be key in assessing debates over such questions.
Lastly, you could choose to focus on aesthetic (stylistic) questions. After carefully studying the adapted film’s approach to cinematography, mise-en-scene, and editing you could ask: how did the adaptation relate to the filmic style of neorealism? Was the chosen approach suited to the adaptation? Were departures from a neorealist approach (if any) typical of this period? What technological alternatives were available to the film adapter at this point in film history?
Once you have selected a line of questioning from the ones suggested above, propose a reason for the change(s) you described. Remember, filmmaking is deliberate, not accidental, and changes can indicate an adapter’s practical considerations in making the film, his or her interpretative and/or ideological insights into the literary text, or outside factors (the demands of a producer and/or forms of censorship may come into play, economic and/or market considerations may affect the casting, film stars may impact the filmmaker’s choices, etc.). To come to grips with your chosen topic, some (at least) basic research on both the literary text and the film will certainly be necessary. Even so, you may not find a specific reason for the change you have chosen and you may find it necessary to suggest in your conclusion a plausible reason for a change based on your own observations of both the literary text and the adaptation, and on your general knowledge of literature and film.
You are welcome to send me your topic and a brief description of the project for your paper, if you are uncertain of its relevance. Please note: if you are having trouble getting started, you are welcome to see
me, but I do ask that you kindly reflect on your topic and put your ideas (preferably a proposal) in writing first, before arranging to meet with me (on Zoom). A good idea would be to type up a 100-150 word proposal describing your topic idea in detail as soon as possible, and no later than Wednesday, June 16. Writing a proposal is crucial for you to be clear on what your questions might be. If needed, we can discuss your proposal on Zoom on a following Friday (3.00-4.00 pm).
Research Assignment Instructions – Essay: due July 8th, 2021 Checklist: remember to follow these basic essay writing guidelines:
Introduce your chosen theme and explain what you will accomplish in your paper (outline your ‘thesis’ or main argument). Once you have completed your essay check that your introduction clearly identifies the topic and film(s) you have selected and that you have stated your basic thesis.
To support your discussion, identify and articulate up to two or three connected arguments that appear to be meaningful and relevant to your topic, and link them to a main thesis:
do not just list unrelated ideas
make sure your arguments are linked to a main theme, one you have presented in your
introduction
Additionally, bolster your argument through reference to at least two secondary sources:
Journal essays or book chapters would be preferable, if possible.
Web materials should be vetted or peer reviewed (online articles may be found on the
Waterloo/SJU library website, or on Google Scholar).
It is your responsibility to find and evaluate all sources before using them to support the
arguments of your paper.
NO Wikipedia or similar, non scholarly resources should be listed in your Works
Cited and Works Consulted lists (see 5., below).
Remember to reference all sources that you use (support your argument with
specific examples, using quotations or clearly referenced paraphrases, as
necessary).
Do not use “course website” as if it were a publication source but draw your
citation information appropriately (the course website labels each text so that
you can easily identify the source).
Draw your conclusions highlighting the relevance of the questions raised and/or theme
discussed in your essay and its/their significance in relation to the study of the adaption you
have analyzed.
Lastly, include a list of Works Cited (required) and Works Consulted (optional) at the end of the
essay and make sure you follow the MLA style guide for the full essay (see posted cheat sheets
for examples).
Regarding plots:
If you wish, you may choose to give a very brief plot summary (just a few sentences), so that a reader who has not viewed/read the work about which you are writing will be able to follow your basic argument
do not get bogged down in plot summary; do not let the plot of the story impose its structure on your essay; your obligation is to impose a structure of your own, which is why emphasizing your theme, topics, and method in the first paragraph is so important (there should be no question about the point you are trying to make)
