But they can also be done very effectively! With this workshop, I want to take an hour and a half and explore what it's like to bring two classic stories, namely, To Kill a Mockingbird and Farenheit 451 to life in two different mediums - radio and movies. We will do this by discussing an excerpt from each book and looking at their adaptions - Mockingbird's 1962 film and Farenheit's 1980 BBC radio drama adaptation.
Note: The passage from TKaM and the subsequent scene from the film contain mature themes and language. Please keep this in mind.
In doing so, I'm hoping we will walk away with a better understanding of how these stories are told, because it can be really fun to write them! I just graduated from film school, and my studies have definitely given me appreciation for adaptations, since it takes a lot of finesse to do right.
This workshop will occur on . Note: this will automatically show your time zone!
