The document discusses differences between film adaptations of novels and the original novels. Novels can provide more detailed stories and character development due to having more time compared to movies which are limited to around 4 minutes per scene. The genre of a film aims to appeal to specific audiences, as some prefer comedy while others prefer drama. Film scripts serve as starting documents that include dialogue, text, and notes to help directors plan scenes, actors analyze characters, and production managers coordinate work.

2. Literature and cinema
• The adaptations are films made on the basis of the originals,
changing some details such as the time, actors, etc.
• The language of the novels tends to be more refined and
detailed, the actors feel more into the character., and the
language of the movies is more concrete, faster, the actor
does not have enough time to feel the character. Because it is
not the same to tell a story in 4 minutes than in 30 minutes.
• The main difference between a movie and a novel is time, and
if you can make a movie from a novel, there are several
examples, but the novel is more detailed, and the novel could
also be more expensive.

3. Film-making genres
• Within the cinema there are several categories such as:
Comedy, action, drama, suspense, etc. and with time there
will be more.
• The genres aim to select their audience, because there are
people who like comedy more and who never watch drama
movies.
• The genre is always an identifying element of great
importance and a fundamental criterion regarding the choice
of movies we watch. There is an explicit warning about this:
the more you enjoy, the better because all of them are
cinema.

CHANGING ACTION AXIS
• In cinematography, the imaginary line that is marked by the
action that takes place in the scene is called the axis of action.
• For example, if we have a scene in which a character is walking
down the street, the axis of action will be a line in the
direction of his walk.
• This axis of action will change when the scene is already
filmed.

5. WHATISASCRIPT
• A script is a text in the form of a book, which is useful as a
starting document for the filming of a movie or for the
recording of a television program. here are included data such
as dialogues, texts, notes, ideas, etc.
• The script serves to:
a. To the director, to articulate his / her scene when it has to do
with the making of a plot.
b. To the performers, to analyze the personages' character that
each one has to act out and know the dialogues.
C. to the production manager, to make up a plan of coherent
work.
