Q1- Everyone get ideas from somewhere and made their own creations from it, do you think someone could create something that is not original without have an influence from someone else?
Q2- What was something that was original and recently created from no influence from someone else's ideas?
In response to Amanda, I don't think the use of adaptions in that way hinder people's originality at all. I think they actually gives more people a platform to be even more original. People are very creative and make up a lot of different things on the internet now a days, through challenges and memes that no one else would think of.
q1) Do you think people who adapt something without consulting the original owned or maker, is that wrong?
q2) Do you think that limiting adaptations limit creativity, and kill story lines?
To answer Delaney's question, I think knowing the original story makes adaptations extremely more enjoyable and understandable for audiences.
1) Based on the author's somewhat loose view on adaptation, do you believe this looseness allows for the misinterpretation of adaptations? For example, the message that is conveyed through a movie adaptation of a book is not the message that the book's author had originally intended the audience to receive.
2) Adaptations of animated movies into live-action is becoming more and more common in today's film production. In cases such as The Jungle Book, where there is now more than one live action movie, is this a clear example of oscillation?
In response to Vanessa's first question: repetition without replication simply means to preserve the essence of something while continuing to explore new ways of achieving the same objective.
1) Do you think some adaptations cross the line becoming a copy and infringing upon the original work?
2) Which types of adaptations do you generally enjoy more?
In response to Leemor’s first question, I don’t think adaptations are simply taking credit for another person’s story, I think adaptations can be creative in their own right.
Q1. Do such concerns have a place in a theory of adaptation? As in the article it talks about both Hutcheon’s love of opera and Sanders’s admiration for recent novels that ‘‘write back’’ to Shakespeare. With both being two separate things do they have the right concept of adaptation?
Q2. Do you think having the background of something you like considered copyright if you put it into a video or book?
In response to Delaney I say it would be considered a theft or copyright if it follow the whole concept of the book, opera, or video they are making.
