Post Project Questions

1. What was your vision as a director/creator for this project?

My vision as a director/creator for this project was to keep the general idea of the story similar but add a few different twists of my own to make it interesting.

2. What elements of the original story did you maintain in your project?

The only element from the original story that I maintained in my project was the idea of a wife finding out her husband is dead.

3. What did you change about the original story in your project?

In my project the husband does not actually die and the wife ends up killing her husband when she finds out he's alive.

4. What is the twist or climax of your adaptation?

My story has 2 twists. The first twist is the wife being told her husband is dead but he really isn't. The second twist is when the husband gets home from work the wife ends up killing him.

5. What is the strongest part of your project so far?

I think my twists are the strongest part so far, I think they make the story very interesting and it keeps the viewers entertained.

6. What is the weakest part of your project so far?

I think my captions for some of my pictures can defiantly be improved and is the weakest part of my project right now.

7. How has this project helped you learn about how stories work?

This project taught me how to represent a story with just pictures and a few words describing the picture.

8. How has this project helped you learn how theater works?

This project helped me learn how many different thoughts can go into just one scene or in my case a picture. It showed me that there are many different ways to picture something.

Modernizing the Story

- change some of the wording/ just reading it, it sounds old
- base it in a modern society, like a college
- change the characters to two teenagers dating and the boyfriend is on the train
-
