Question

assignment
reading vs. watching
in a short essay of two to three well - developed paragraphs, compare and contrast reading the story with watching
the video.
first, explain how the video changed or remained faithful to the story and how this affected your understanding of
the story and its theme. use specific evidence from the text of the story, as well as the video, to support your
ideas and observations. (make sure you explain specifically what the theme of the story is, too!)
then, evaluate the choice of costumes, set, and actors in the film compared with the text version. why did the
director make the choices he did, and what effect did they have on the story, plot, theme, and/or viewing
experience?

Explanation:

The task involves analyzing and writing about the comparison between reading a story and watching its video adaptation, including theme analysis and evaluation of film elements. This falls under the Arts discipline, specifically Literature (as it deals with story analysis) and possibly Media and Communication (for evaluating the video adaptation). The work requires literary analysis and critical thinking about media adaptation, so the subfield of Literature (within Arts) is most applicable as the core is analyzing the story and its adaptation.

Answer:

The subfield that best applies is Literature (under the Arts discipline).
