Activity 2

Today's lesson will continue your work on exploring the characters in the novel and film of Emma. You will be briefly reintroduced to film reviews.

As we learned in the previous lesson, many elements go to depicting a character in a film. The same is true for the novel, but there are many differences between reading a book and watching a film based on the same story. The narrative strategies we have discussed that are used in a novel are replaced by the sorts of cinematic tools described in the previous lesson. Some of these may be difficult to reproduce on film, so that is why scenes or characters are sometimes left out. What makes good text is not always good cinema! However, a film often gives a better overview of a story than a text does, and brings characters quickly to life.
