Explanation:

In the written scene, there is a focus on Rainsford's actions and internal state (his face set, forcing his mind to function). In a film version, visual elements like camera angles (maybe a close - up on his determined face), sound effects (the sound of the knife working on the tree), and music (suspenseful music as he waits) could be added. Filmmakers might add these to engage the audience more viscerally. The written scene uses more internal description, while the film would use external, sensory - based elements.

Answer:

The film version would likely add visual and auditory elements not present in the written scene. For example, camera work and sound effects. Filmmakers make these choices to engage the audience's senses more directly.
