1. Film adaptation

   A film adaptation is the transfer of a work or story, in whole or in part, to a feature film. Although often considered a type of derivative work, recent academic developments by scholars such as Robert Stam conceptualize film adaptation as a dialogic process. A common form of film adaptation is the use of a novel as the basis of a feature film. Other works adapted into films include non-fiction (including journalism), autobiography, comic books, scriptures, plays, historical sources, and other films. From the earliest days of cinema, in nineteenth-century Europe, adaptation from such diverse resources has been a ubiquitous practice of filmmaking.

It involves translating the original material's story, characters, themes, and/or settings from one medium to another, specifically from a non-visual form to a visual form. The adaptation aims to capture the essence, narrative elements, and artistic vision of the source material while making necessary adjustments to suit the cinematic medium and audience expectations.
