If you could adapt any text (a poem even) into a play, what would it be and why? en-us 2020-11-16 15:44:31 UTC 2020-11-20 02:25:21 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/2604.png https://padlet.com/p00129501/a9cpu2yiea0t49wj/wish/931864405 I think that you are going to need a place for the title, the list of characters, and a space for the characters who are talking. I would do my BLM poem.]]> 2020-11-17 14:32:28 UTC https://padlet.com/p00129501/a9cpu2yiea0t49wj/wish/931864405 https://padlet.com/p00129501/a9cpu2yiea0t49wj/wish/931865257 No, not really. I believe that sometimes the movies somewhat ruin the vibe of the book. I read a book called Star Girl that was a beautiful novel, but the movie just really does not give it justice. I know a book that could be adapted into a play is "The False Prince. " (Is that what you meant by text?) I would make that book into a movie because it has an amazing plot and very  unique characters. Plus, the movie could use green screen and everything to cause sets to come alive. A play could work as well, but the story wouldn't be as engaging.]]> 2020-11-17 14:32:36 UTC https://padlet.com/p00129501/a9cpu2yiea0t49wj/wish/931865257 https://padlet.com/p00129501/a9cpu2yiea0t49wj/wish/931866468 I think there are always need to be revisions made to a book's plot in order to condense it to an hour to two hour movie, and I think small details or scenes that don't add also should get edited. When a book is adapted into a play, the setting needs to be especially clear and if it isn't in some part of the book, then something would be made up. If I could adapt any book it would be The Hate U Give because there are so many parts of it that I can easily imagine being transitioned to a stage and a play.]]> 2020-11-17 14:32:49 UTC https://padlet.com/p00129501/a9cpu2yiea0t49wj/wish/931866468 https://padlet.com/p00129501/a9cpu2yiea0t49wj/wish/931866750 There are somethings that can not be done IRL, and the perspective can't change at all throughout the play. IDK what I would adapt. Maybe some part of a To Sleep in a Sea of Stars?...]]> 2020-11-17 14:32:52 UTC https://padlet.com/p00129501/a9cpu2yiea0t49wj/wish/931866750 https://padlet.com/p00129501/a9cpu2yiea0t49wj/wish/931866962 Certain elements can be used in books vs movies. When you read a book and then see the movie, you see there are certain set changes. Movies tend to need more action. If it's set in third person vs a book in first person, you have to cut out the moments of sitting there in thought sometimes. 

If I could turn any literature into a play, I would choose a poem. I would love to see a poem be a play. Maybe the one where we see a special person in a normal place. It would be easier to put in play form.]]> 2020-11-17 14:32:55 UTC https://padlet.com/p00129501/a9cpu2yiea0t49wj/wish/931866962 s1917328 https://padlet.com/p00129501/a9cpu2yiea0t49wj/wish/931867502
If I could adapt any text into a play it would have to be Invisible emmie it not one of my favorite book but I think it would be great as a play because it relates to some teens or kids. It also has a great story line.]]> 2020-11-17 14:33:00 UTC https://padlet.com/p00129501/a9cpu2yiea0t49wj/wish/931867502 miraco https://padlet.com/p00129501/a9cpu2yiea0t49wj/wish/931869772 I think that to be able to adapt a book into a play, you would have to make sure that you describe the setting well and have mainly dialogue in the story. If I could adapt any text into a play, I would want to see Scythe by Neil Shusterman because I think it would be interesting to see as a play, even though it might be hard because it has quite a few different settings.]]> 2020-11-17 14:33:24 UTC https://padlet.com/p00129501/a9cpu2yiea0t49wj/wish/931869772 s1748783 https://padlet.com/p00129501/a9cpu2yiea0t49wj/wish/931870669 I think you are going to need a script that should be easily adapted, as thoughts in a movie are hard to portray. If I were to adapt any book or poem into a play or movie, it would be the pillars of the earth.]]> 2020-11-17 14:33:33 UTC https://padlet.com/p00129501/a9cpu2yiea0t49wj/wish/931870669 https://padlet.com/p00129501/a9cpu2yiea0t49wj/wish/931871459 I think they need to make the characters look like they do in the book or as close to as possible. The lines in the movie should relate a lot to the book.]]> 2020-11-17 14:33:41 UTC https://padlet.com/p00129501/a9cpu2yiea0t49wj/wish/931871459 https://padlet.com/p00129501/a9cpu2yiea0t49wj/wish/931874208 I think there has to have the same characters if your making a movie from a play or book. I would adapt the book series Dork Diaries because it tells a lot about a teenagers life as good as it sound ]]> 2020-11-17 14:34:10 UTC https://padlet.com/p00129501/a9cpu2yiea0t49wj/wish/931874208 https://padlet.com/p00129501/a9cpu2yiea0t49wj/wish/931877814 You need to make sure there is enough dialogue. You can't have a play with little dialogue. I would adapt Harry Potter to a play because there is lots of dialogue and excitement.]]> 2020-11-17 14:34:48 UTC https://padlet.com/p00129501/a9cpu2yiea0t49wj/wish/931877814 s1676563 https://padlet.com/p00129501/a9cpu2yiea0t49wj/wish/931886230 I think that to adapt a book to a movie or play, you need a creative director and a clear idea on how to transfer the story. I have absolutely zero idea what text I would adapt to a play because most of the books I read have large settings and probably too much going on for them to be adapted properly. Certain scenes from a book called Blended would probably work because of the dialogue.]]> 2020-11-17 14:36:17 UTC https://padlet.com/p00129501/a9cpu2yiea0t49wj/wish/931886230 https://padlet.com/p00129501/a9cpu2yiea0t49wj/wish/931887125 to adapt a book to a movie/play descriptions are necessary the characters feelings and personality really have to be expressed for the movie to portray the story correctly. i would like to see hatchet as a movie because i just really like the story.]]> 2020-11-17 14:36:26 UTC https://padlet.com/p00129501/a9cpu2yiea0t49wj/wish/931887125 s1937691 https://padlet.com/p00129501/a9cpu2yiea0t49wj/wish/931890261 They would need to get a good interpretation of the characters, and choose good actors. You would also need to translate thoughts (if any) into something the watchers hear. Also you would need to make a script for the actors, and build props. I would want to adapt my favorite book (keeper of the lost cities) in to a play. ]]> 2020-11-17 14:37:01 UTC https://padlet.com/p00129501/a9cpu2yiea0t49wj/wish/931890261 https://padlet.com/p00129501/a9cpu2yiea0t49wj/wish/931892100 I think there has to be a story for something to be turned into a play, preferably with dialogue. I don't know what text I would adapt into a play, but I think I would want one that has a little fantasy, but not too much. The special effects would be a little hard, but I think it would be worth it. ]]> 2020-11-17 14:37:21 UTC https://padlet.com/p00129501/a9cpu2yiea0t49wj/wish/931892100 https://padlet.com/p00129501/a9cpu2yiea0t49wj/wish/931897213 You will need a lot of dialogue,  settings, and of course characters.

Also, you have to find a way to show what the character is thinking, by what he is doing since you can't say "he thought/she thought" in a play. The book I would pick to be a play would be "Foundation" by Isaac Asimov, because it has a lot of action detail and dialogue.]]> 2020-11-17 18:17:51 UTC https://padlet.com/p00129501/a9cpu2yiea0t49wj/wish/933191025
