Hi there,
I am just compelling a report for my media production course at university.
The report is based around the argument ; is the book better then the film?
I am looking to get a varied opinion in this matter and why you have chosen a certain answer.
It is a question that has been around for years and with more and more films now being adapted from novels I thought it was appropriate to do this for my course.
If you have some time, please answer the questions below:
Are you a avid reader or avid film watcher?
how many books or films do you read or watch in month?
Roughly, in the last 5 years, how many films have you seen that have been adapted from books?
Did you read the book first or go and see the film?
What did you prefer?
why?
Has seeing the film or reading the book made you want to go and read/see it?s other version?
thank you for taking the time to have a read.
All the best.
Jp

Statistically it's less and less. Fewer movies are being from books in the last 20 years than in the previous 50.

Is this an "or" question? Do you want to know how many
films OR books? But not both?

An interesting question. I just don't remember even the
rough number since 2006. I'll have to think back over the
last five years and get back to this.

In some cases I did, in others I didn't.

Is this question only about the last five years? Or over
all my movie watching years?

Sometimes yes. Other times no.
