Question:

Here is the complete question:

In a short story taking place in the forest, the sounds of the forest animals

and insects are described at length. What choice might a filmmaker adapting the short story make instead of describing the sounds?

A. Remove the sounds from the film

B. Create a dramatic sound mix to present the sounds to the

audience

C. Change the setting to avoid the forest sounds

D. Have one of the film's characters comment on the sounds

Explanation:

In short stories and other literary works, the authors rely mainly on written descriptions, monologues or dialogues to present elements such as settings, characters, actions, etc. However, in cases whereby these literary works are adapted into films, the descriptions are not used because the use of a narrator is not common in films, therefore the filmmakers rely on the actions of characters and also show elements rather than describing them.

This means, in the case of a short story that is set in a forest, the best choice for adapting this is to allow the audience hear the sounds of the forest rather than describing them and therefore, the correct answer is to "create a dramatic sound mix to present the sounds to the audience". Option B is the right answer.
