Origin Of An Cinematic Representation of literature (Adaptation pt1 )

       There is no shortage of cinematic representation of literature work,  and here  I am going to explain you about to produce more and more content and material which used in making content for silver screen . This Concept and process is not new, however- directors and screenwriters have long been retelling beloved classics feature-film and as well as the modern era dramas,novels,books etc.
          There is 13 points on it which i am explaining one by one.


1) A Theory of Adaptation:-
         
 Adaptation:-
                              The action or process of adapting or being adapted.
              Linda Hutcheon’s book A Theory of Adaptation presents a comprehensive and general theory of adaptations. Adaptations are widespread and universal. They seem common and natural, but pose curious problems in content, structure, and inter-textual politics. The work looks to develop a theory of adaptations in general with reference to the transformation of literature into films. Hutcheon wishes to consider adaptations as lateral, not vertical. Besides, Hutcheon also wishes to view adaptations as adaptations, not as independent works.

Linda Hutcheon, up to some extent, focuses on a critical aesthetics of adaptations. Given a set of adaptations, how can or should one judge them with respect to each other? This perspective comes particularly from translation studies, which generally places the original work and language on a foundation, asserting its supremacy to any translation or adaptation that may be made of it. Recently, this perspective has been changed.  Susan Bassnett, a translator, theorist and scholar of comparative literature, asserts that “to view translations as weaving the original text into the culture of the target language” is considered. Moreover, Gideon Toury, an Israeli translator, says that “seeing translation as breathing life into a text” is being considered as a creativity.
