Road Trip Wednesday is a ‘Blog Carnival,’ where YA Highway's contributors post a weekly writing- or reading-related question that begs to be answered. In the comments, you can hop from destination to destination and get everybody's unique take on the topic.
This Week's Topic:
We'd like to know, in your opinion, what is it that makes some books seem ideal for a film translation?
This is interesting. When I write I generally 'see' the scenes playing out as a movie in my mind, but my WIP had a beta reader commenting 'I could see this being one of those movies where everything happens on one amazing weekend'. When interrogated... i mean, questioned, he didn't know whether it was different writing or what.
For me, it's a combination. i would consider something that paints a vivid picture in my mind. it needs a good pace and a great hook to make a good movie poster.
A cute hero and kissing is nice too!!
=)
What do you think?
Sounds like you covered all the important elements there! Cute hero and kissing, must haves:)
ReplyDeleteYup, I have priorities!!
DeleteI picture my story playing out in my head like a film too. The same goes for when I'm reading books. I think it's difficult not to given that we've been raised watching movies and TV. But that's all right. :)
ReplyDeleteGlad I'm not alone.

I, too, picture my stories playing out in my head like movies. I have to be able to see everything in great detail to be able to fully grasp a scene.
ReplyDeleteCute heroes and kissing are always nice :)
