Watch these two films that are based on Edgar Allan Poe's The Tell-Tale Heart. Answer this question in a Google doc and share with me.
What choices do the film-makers make to take the story from something you read to something you view? Are the choices effective, how so? Focus on elements like

• music (follow the link to find descriptive words, only use words that you are comfortable with)
• graphics, animation, action
• narration (think about the volume, pitch, pace, tone)

• transitions (how the story moves from scene to scene)
