Answer:
Since this one question has multiple questions in them, I will provide an answer for each, with a short explanation.
1. Dramatic license is: They way an artist, or actor, interprets a story. This means that even if a story presents characters in a specific way, the actors who will interpret those characters may put their personal characteristics, and use the necessary means to bring the character to life in the best way possible.
2. Which of the following is an example of an adaptation: A story presented as a play. Basically, it is when someone takes an original work that is in written form, like a novel, and transforms it in such a way that it can be used in a different artistic format, like theater, or a movie. The backbone of the adaptation will be the original, but there will be certain parts that will be adapted to better fit the new format.
3. Which of the following is a true statement? Directors have dramatic license to interpret a story in any way they choose. And this is precisely the challenge for directors. An original story may be magnificent and the director must therefore apply his license to adapt the story well enough that most of the original magnificence is also reflected on his adapted version.
4. What is an interpretation? The way a person might understand the story, or bring it to life. We all interpret artistic forms of expression, but most regularly books and movies. Interpretation is simply looking at the story developed before our eyes and extracting the meaning and message from it and from the elements in it. Our brains process that information and applies it meaning and comprehension. If we are actors, we then would bring characters to life through what our minds interpreted, or understood, from the original work given.
