THE PROCESS of SCRIPT ADAPTATION BETWEEN THEATRE and FILM by GAVIN RODNEY MCGIBBON a Thesis Submitted to The View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by ResearchArchive at Victoria University of Wellington SEEING DOUBLE: THE PROCESS OF SCRIPT ADAPTATION BETWEEN THEATRE AND FILM BY GAVIN RODNEY MCGIBBON A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington and the International Institute of Modern Letters in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (2014) Faculty of Graduate Research March 2014 1 Abstract This thesis examines the adaptation of stage plays to cinema, and of films to theatre. The creative component of the thesis consists of my full-length play script Hamlet Dies At The End, and the script of its feature film adaptation (Song’s End), plus material from my film script Roy Jiminton and the script of its adaptation to theatre. The critical component of this thesis examines seven stage-to-film adaptations and four film-to-stage adaptations, in order to illustrate the distinctions between writing for the two different mediums and to suggest principles to aid scriptwriters in adapting material between theatre and film. The thesis concludes with discussion of the decisions I made when adapting my own scripts. This thesis argues that to successfully adapt play or film scripts from one medium to the other, the adaptor must be willing to incorporate significant change in order to effectively ‘adapt’. Adaptations that merely transpose from the stage onto the screen, or vice versa, fail to engage with their new medium. This thesis also proposes a set of adaptation principles for script adaptors. 2 Acknowledgements This would have been impossible without the incredible efforts, generosity and guidance from some key people. Ken Duncum, who continues to inspire and push me as a writer. The impact you have had on my life and not just this thesis, cannot be measured.

    Document generated on 09/30/2021 1:10 p.m. Meta Journal des traducteurs Translators’ Journal Film Adaptation as an Act of Communication: Adopting a Translation-oriented Approach to the Analysis of Adaptation Shifts Katerina Perdikaki Volume 62, Number 1, April 2017 Article abstract Contemporary theoretical trends in Adaptation Studies and Translation Studies URI: https://id.erudit.org/iderudit/1040464ar (Aragay 2005; Catrysse 2014; Milton 2009; Venuti 2007) envisage synergies DOI: https://doi.org/10.7202/1040464ar between the two areas that can contribute to the sociocultural and artistic value of adaptations. This suggests the application of theoretical insights See table of contents derived from Translation Studies to the adaptation of novels for the screen (i.e., film adaptations). It is argued that the process of transposing a novel into a filmic product entails an act of bidirectional communication between the book, Publisher(s) the novel and the involved contexts of production and reception. Particular emphasis is placed on the role that context plays in this communication. Les Presses de l’Université de Montréal Context here is taken to include paratextual material pertinent to the adapted text and to the film. Such paratext may lead to fruitful analyses of adaptations ISSN and, thus, surpass the myopic criterion of fidelity which has traditionally dominated Adaptation Studies. The analysis uses examples of adaptation shifts 0026-0452 (print) (i.e., changes between the source novel and the film adaptation) from the film 1492-1421 (digital) P.S. I Love You (LaGravenese 2007), which are examined against interviews of the author, the director and the cast, the film trailer and one film review.

  • Press Release 23/5/2018
    THE KARLOVY VARY FESTIVAL TO HONOR ACADEMY AWARD-WINNING DIRECTOR BARRY LEVINSON At this year’s Karlovy Vary festival, screenwriter-producer-director Barry Levinson, who won an Academy Award for Rain Man, will accept the Crystal Globe for Outstanding Artistic Contribution to World Cinema. The Karlovy Vary festival continues its tradition of recognizing the most important personalities of world cinema, the likes of which include directors William Friedkin, Jerry Schatzberg, and Ken Loach, and screenwriter Paul Laverty. In his writing and directing capacity, Academy Award winner and five-time nominee Barry Levinson deftly combines personal stories with an often satirical look at society, and his movies have fundamentally influenced numerous young filmmakers. Barry Levinson established himself as a writer of successful television shows. With his onetime wife, Valerie Curtin, he then wrote the movie script for Norman Jewison’s courtroom drama …and justice for all (1979), which brought them an Oscar nomination. He debuted as a director with the comedy-drama Diner (1982), receiving his second Oscar nomination for the script. Ivan Král, a Czech musician based in the US, co- wrote the film music. Subsequent titles confirmed his reputation with critics and audiences: The Natural (1984) with Robert Redford, Tin Men (1987) with Richard Dreyfuss and Danny DeVito, and Good Morning, Vietnam (1987) with Robin Williams. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the legendary picture Rain Man (1988), awarded four Oscars (e.g. Best Director for Barry Levinson) and numerous other honors, including the Golden Bear at the Berlinale and the David di Donatello for Best Foreign Film.

  • Crossmedia Adaptation and the Development of Continuity in the Dc Animated Universe
    “INFINITE EARTHS”: CROSSMEDIA ADAPTATION AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF CONTINUITY IN THE DC ANIMATED UNIVERSE Alex Nader A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2015 Committee: Jeff Brown, Advisor Becca Cragin © 2015 Alexander Nader All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeff Brown, Advisor This thesis examines the process of adapting comic book properties into other visual media. I focus on the DC Animated Universe, the popular adaptation of DC Comics characters and concepts into all-ages programming. This adapted universe started with Batman: The Animated Series and comprised several shows on multiple networks, all of which fit into a shared universe based on their comic book counterparts. The adaptation of these properties is heavily reliant to intertextuality across DC Comics media. The shared universe developed within the television medium acted as an early example of comic book media adapting the idea of shared universes, a process that has been replicated with extreme financial success by DC and Marvel (in various stages of fruition). I address the process of adapting DC Comics properties in television, dividing it into “strict” or “loose” adaptations, as well as derivative adaptations that add new material to the comic book canon. This process was initially slow, exploding after the first series (Batman: The Animated Series) changed networks and Saturday morning cartoons flourished, allowing for more opportunities for producers to create content. References, crossover episodes, and the later series Justice League Unlimited allowed producers to utilize this shared universe to develop otherwise impossible adaptations that often became lasting additions to DC Comics publishing.

  • 2003/04 Was a Frustrating Year for the Airedale NHS Trust
    Airedale ‘QUALITY SHINING THROUGH’ Airedale NHS Trust Annual Report, 2003-2004 2 ‘QUALITY SHINING THROUGH’ Airedale NHS Trust Annual Report, 2003-2004 Airedale CONTENTS Chairman’s perspective page 4 Chief Executive’s overview page 6 Trust profile page 8 Service locations page 9 Service development and improvement page 11 Learning from patients page 16 Our staff page 18 Some events in the year page 20 Trust board page 24 Summary financial statements page 27 Statement of internal control page 34 3 CHAIRMAN’S PERSPECTIVE 2003/04 was a frustrating year for the Airedale NHS Trust. On the plus side, we continued to provide healthcare of the highest quality for our local population. This was recognised by the award of three stars - the highest available score - in the national NHS performance ratings in July 2003 (based upon 2002/03 performance) and by outstanding attainments in the latest survey of NHS Trusts carried out by ‘Dr Foster’, an independent health research organisation, which looks particularly at the quality of services provided. Airedale has retained its position as the best performing Trust in the Northern & Yorkshire region, it was again in the top ten nationally, and it was the best in the country in terms of patient satisfaction. And all this was achieved with clinical staffing levels (doctors and nurses) that are amongst the lowest in the country. On the minus side, the Trust failed to achieve financial balance in 2003/04. This came as no surprise to the Trust Board because we have had an underlying recurrent deficit for the last few years.

Photo: Cesare de Giglio The Little Matchgirl and Other Happier Tales. Photo: Steve Tanner WELCOME 2016 – a momentous year – in which the world celebrated the richness of Shakespeare’s legacy 400 years after his death. Shakespeare’s Globe is proud to have played a part in those celebrations in 197 countries and led the festivities in London, where Shakespeare wrote and worked. Our Globe to Globe Hamlet tour travelled 193,000 miles before coming home for a final emotional performance in the Globe to mark the end, not just of this phenomenal worldwide journey, but the artistic handover from Dominic Dromgoole to Emma Rice. A memorable season of late Shakespeare plays in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse and two outstanding Globe transfers in the West End ran concurrently with the last leg of the Globe to Globe Hamlet tour. On Shakespeare’s birthday, 23 April, we welcomed President Obama to the Globe. Actors performed scenes from the late plays running in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse at Southwark Cathedral, a service which was the only major civic event to mark the anniversary in London and was attended by our Patron, HRH the Duke of Edinburgh.

  • A Study of Musical Affect in Howard Shore's Soundtrack to Lord of the Rings
    PROJECTING TOLKIEN'S MUSICAL WORLDS: A STUDY OF MUSICAL AFFECT IN HOWARD SHORE'S SOUNDTRACK TO LORD OF THE RINGS Matthew David Young A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC IN MUSIC THEORY May 2007 Committee: Per F. Broman, Advisor Nora A. Engebretsen © 2007 Matthew David Young All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Per F. Broman, Advisor In their book Ten Little Title Tunes: Towards a Musicology of the Mass Media, Philip Tagg and Bob Clarida build on Tagg’s previous efforts to define the musical affect of popular music. By breaking down a musical example into minimal units of musical meaning (called musemes), and comparing those units to other musical examples possessing sociomusical connotations, Tagg demonstrated a transfer of musical affect from the music possessing sociomusical connotations to the object of analysis. While Tagg’s studies have focused mostly on television music, this document expands his techniques in an attempt to analyze the musical affect of Howard Shore’s score to Peter Jackson’s film adaptation of The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. This thesis studies the ability of Shore’s film score not only to accompany the events occurring on-screen, but also to provide the audience with cultural and emotional information pertinent to character and story development. After a brief discussion of J.R.R. Tolkien’s description of the cultures, poetry, and music traits of the inhabitants found in Middle-earth, this document dissects the thematic material of Shore’s film score.
